11am has come and gone. When news?

You beat me to this. I just asked the question ony last post.
Given the landscape and the ability to be a free agent EVERY year, every player should go into the portal EVERY year. With a four year earning window, why not? It's just smart.
I'd advise my son to do the same. If all offers are equal, go back to where you were comfortable.
FI_8905 with the news. . . he knows . . . he knows! I just appreciate how most of the Insiders are chiming in and relaying the news--good or bad.

Good. That is an absolute must.
While they will be talking in a foreign language while switching on defense and setting up plays in the same manner on offense? lolBrad picturing having twin 7 foot bigs that will space the floor and shoot the 3:

I'll believe it when I see the official announcement.
I may be in the minority on this, but I hope they pass on him. The games I watched Arkansas, I was not impressed and he barely played during their tourney run. Tomi is a much better shooter & actually plays defense.
Man, don't let a few clowns get under your skin. Ultimately, this is entertainment and for those making nasty comments, forget them.
Honestly, you are one of the few reasons that I hope on.
I can follow listen to people cry and whine just about anywhere.
You're a good egg and provide cool insight. If you want to check out again, I think all of us can understand. Some of the people on here are insufferable.

Insider? Or it was on your X account?
He’s a take 100% if it gives Tomi another reason to come back. That alone is enough for me.
Proceeds to roll out the youngest roster in P4 …
If you’ve been following me on here … It’s old news …
They’re still working on wrapping things up with Tomi’s return and from my understanding he wants to play with his brother … He would like that to be part of the deal and is not afraid to enter the portal to make it happen …
This shouldn’t be difficult from the Illinois side … You take them both … Get the freaking deal done Brad …

I think he has value but definitely not as much as Tomi, so it's sort of a cost-benefit thing and who else is available sort of thing for me. He has more value than Ben Humrichous to me for example.
You hit the critical point. There is absolutely zero disincentive for EVERY player not to enter the portal and see what the market brings. You can always return to your previous school, a la Kofi.
Regarding Tomi, he would be silly not to get draft feedback AND enter the portal. See what’s out there and get Illinois to increase their offer.
That’s just smart business.
That's actually much-better stated than my post. Thanks for saying what I meant.
Love it. Sometimes you gotta remind the people that this ain’t no hobby for you!
Well it would be interesting to see schools declare "if you enter the portal you're dead to me" and see how they do, like it wouldn't surprise me if Izzo said that.
Having two 7'1" dudes that could shoot would be sweet. Has that ever happened on any roster like....ever? Neither are the most physical guys in the world, but having two would be a bit of a different story.
That would actually be pretty fun to watch.
Zvonimir is a way bette defender and rim protector. He's just a lot more fluid of an athlete.
What are your odds on this one?
Can confirm … Two changes is the word out of Ubben this afternoon …
Seen a lot of vague rumblings on Twitter about an 11am meeting today that didn't go well.. anyone on here know what that's about
