I've seen some Illini fans on Twitter and various message boards say that Illinois is gonna make a major push for a legit star big man, which kinda goes against the thinking here on Loyalty (all the chips pushed in for Tyger, Coleman, and TSJ then grab a backup big). Any thoughts on that? If so, do they mean Hunter or Edwards? Or is another big (Sanogo) gonna enter the portal?

I guess we’re at a point where we just have to root for our wealthy hired guns over the other school’s wealthy hired guns. “When I was a kid playing basketball, I would pretend the clock was counting down and I made the game winning basket at the buzzer for … the college whose alums paid me the most.”
I get it, but as children we can be blindly passionate about our favorite teams and pretend we are our favorite players taking the game winning shot in the National Championship game.

As a business decision in today's NCAA, most people would put that passion behind them and choose the best option to further their career and make the most of any opportunities they have to cash in on their ability.

How much would leave on the table to play for your favorite team?
