He is crazy to Not try NBA.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Key difference with Spencer is that he played the end of the season and in postseason play(part of the waiver process is not playing the 2nd half of the season). Domask missed the postseason.
Also, my understanding was that the COVID waiver was for the 2019-2020 season(spring 2020 sports). Domask would get a COVID waiver for his freshman year and then a medical waiver for his sophomore year which could give him 6 years.
Football is a different sport, fall sports were impacted differently and id honestly have to look more into what happened with Devito but I have a hard time believing that the NCAA hasn't approved a single basketball player for a medical waiver in either the 2019-2020 or 2020-2022 season.
If he does, yes
Trimble goes to Marquette I'd imagine. We can do better than Washington.
I can see him hit the portal as well

Do the insiders on the board know each other in real life? If so do they know who each other are on this board?
Also fits in with my dream lineup of only playing guys between 6'6-7'0 which they kinda do this year but could use a big pg type to round it out.
How would they keep him down in Malibu after he’s seen gay Champaign-Urbana?
Idk. I like 6’4” or 5” guys who are quick and can defend (e.g., Ayo). It’s always nice to have a couple of these type of players.
I am not saying that your 0% preduction is incorrect for Hawkins. However based on history and all the money involved it seems premature for Hawkins to just right that option off. Kofi left thinking he would be drafted or make the NBA, last year TSJ wasn't expected back was projected late 30s to early 40s and made an informed choice and it will make him more money. It is very difficult and is far from a given that Coleman who is projected at around 50th overall will make an NBA roster and is certainly not in as good a place as Terrance was last season. I just hope Coleman doesn't just make gut call and go and risk leaving hundreds of thousands of sure fire NIL money on the table if making a NBA roster or making that type of cash isn't a sure thing. It worked out for Terrance coming back and Coleman sitituation is not as bright as what Terrance had last season. I certainly hope BU and staff are recruiting Coleman while advising him to do whats best for him in the long run. Make and informed decision by listening to experts. I just don't understand how these options would not be even considered given the past and how NIL is now.

Hey Insiders (@Indy Illini Fan @illini0440 @DB11Headband @LvilleILL @stuemke5 etc.), who are we missing on this list (obv can't mention names but maybe programs that will have HC changes/players IL would have a good chance at))? Any names bigger than these? I'm racking my brain, trying to think of teams that will have head-coaching changes/players that will transfer that Undy has a previous relationship with. Maybe Cam Corhen?

$1,000,000 NIL going to go a lot further in Urbana than Malibu!
Agreed. Taller is better only if the player legitimately has the skills for the position. And fielding a lineup 6'7 to 7'0 guys with the skills to play their position is impossible in college ball and very difficult even in the NBA.
Even this season, we are vulnerable to quick guards as our 6'6 perimeter players aren't especially quick.
New question: could Illinois somehow nab John Blackwell from Wisconsin? Dude's pretty good, and so was his Illini dad a long time ago.

Okay, now "@Indy Illini Fan as Zach Hamer" needs to become the newest IL meme.
