My wife received a text from her connected friend a few minutes ago. She said the staff is aware of Kofi’s decision. She also knows, but won’t share any more information. I doubt this adds any value to the discussion, but thought I’d pass it along. Seems awfully tight lipped… Not sure how to take it.
I prefer Kofi comes back but it's because I feel it's what's best for him and his family. I know he is Uber confident but it's not the same situation as Ayo's. I want what's best for Kofi. Illinois basketball will be fine either way. We will be better with Kofi but that's not why I hope he stays.

I have decided that while BU can count, I can't. We have had numerous posts about an experienced guard (Ramey etc.) and a forward (TSJ/Hopkins).

The way I see the scholarship grid, we are one over in players if Kofi, Gandison and Hutcherson come back.

If Kofi leaves, 0440 said there should be a transfer big to take his place. That would still leave us at 14. Where do the scholarships come for the experienced guard and forward. If both Hutch and Grandy move on, one would fit, but not 2.

Or am I missing something?

If Kofi leaves … We can likely take 2 and still have an open scholarship …

@BMoreIllini does a fantastic job keeping a scholarship chart, and it’s in a separate thread. Much easier to keep track 👍🏻

Threaten her with spiders. That will work!

The general consensus is that Grandison and Hutch aren't coming back and that Lieb is still TBD.

If Kofi stays we will find it pretty easy to fill any open spot...
