Please clarify for me: did we pay Skyy his NIL $ all year, or did that stop when he took “his break”?
Who cares? He quit. Family reasons or whatever, he still quit on his teammates.We haven't had a quad 1 win since Skyy was on the team.

We had what looked like serval questionable losses with him, too, and he was out when we made that comeback against UCLA.We haven't had a quad 1 win since Skyy was on the team.
I wish him the best, but I'm not sad he's gone
Duh….
In other news, water is wet.
Announcing you are transferring on selection Sunday is a bit of the final straw for me with this prima donna. I hope he transfers 4 more times and never finds a fit.

I would've rather Skyy worked out whatever he needed to work out and return to the team, but at no point in the past two months did I even consider that to be a realistic possibility. I'm glad the band-aid has been ripped off so we can't stop talking about it.
He's a 19 year old kid. Hoping that he fails in his future endeavors because he interrupted Selection Sunday is a bit of an overreaction.
Like we’ve stopped talking about Adam Miller, Curbelo, Podz etc?

Good catch on him announcing it today..
Craves attention over team loyalty.....how many previous schools , plus de-comitt from UK......
Buh Bye........
To me, it depends on his reasoning. Adam Miller, Curbelo, Podz, and all the others I wish good fortune. They left in the right way and aren't trying to do damage to Illinois. If you believe he announced today to maximize his opportunity for spotlight, that's one thing. I believe he announced today to bring added negativity to Illinois.
Fwiw, I still haven’t recovered from Er…Er…Er…uh…IDKWTI.
He made sure he got his last NIL payment before he announced his leave
Thanks. I was afraid that was the case due to college bball turning into the Wild West in the last couple years.
Right, and how many more times will he transfer before he’s done? The skyy’s the limit I guess.
Is Skyy going to be academically eligible? If he didn’t finish the semester at Illinois then he should not be able to play until he earns the credit hours to qualify as a sophomore. He could be enrolled online and be in good academic standing but I don’t know.
Also the NCAA needs to regulate the ability of the player/coaches from discussing transferring to another school before they enter the transfer portal. I don’t know if that applies in this case but in a lot of transfers the decision is made before they transfer

For me it was Dave Strack stealing Cazzie Russell out of Carver.
It’s Louisville. I’m sure he’ll be eligible lol.

It doesn't, but it's also clear his lack of defense and mediocre offensive performance wasn't going to make a difference either.Same, but that doesn't change what happened the rest of the season
Perhaps if he'd used the resources on campus instead of going home, but he made the choice he thought was right for him. It is what it is
