#41, 71, 89 from 2019 (if we pull it off) + #30, 99 from 2018 I would say things might be looking up finally! 24/7 ranking btw

Really confused about what the announcement was supposed to be? Losing daylight here in Central IL quickly...

I don't know if it'll come tonight, but he said himself he's announcing soon (see below). That coupled with the crystal balls trending our way makes me really excited.

It's not just can they drive back and forth. I know the results dont seem to show it, but a lot goes into getting these guys ready to play. Film breakdown, game assisgments/plans act. That is still happening tonight.

Kofi is a nice player, but he will certainly need some work. In the couple games I’ve seen, he struggles to keep up with pace and getting up and down. Sure, collegiate S&C will help. I just wonder how he will fit into our offense.

It would be a great get, just some questions marks for me (not unlike all bigs). I guess I am being negative, but didnt coach talk about playing positionless even at the beginning of the year? Oh well. He’s a heck of a big dude and will fit a need of ours in helping rim protection.

Seriously? Why you gotta be like that?

Yeah, you're right. We should pass.

A multitude of posters have been ranting about our weakness in the front court ( me included ) and it hopefully looks like we might be getting a 5 * big
finally and this is what is posted ?????????

I'll welcome him with open arms and let the staff do what they get paid for to get him ready....If he and Giorgi and samba can mesh then thats a killer big scenario and color me O & B happy as he!!....JMHO

Is it not possible to get from Highland IL to Chicago in a couple hours? Seems silly that there is no staff presence at this event.
How many times are you expecting our staff to see him this year?

Yes. Enroll Spring of 2019 and sit the two full academic semesters and be eligible Spring 2020.
Someone else may have already commented on this, but he'd actually be eligible as soon as the Fall semester ended. This year that includes Missouri and everything since.

I beg your pardon....am I the only one waiting on an announcement from Kahlil Whitney?

I am also waiting on any announcement, good news...etc that perks up the morale to this humbling season....It seems like this has been a long, long season already and we have 17 B1G games left...

Come on Kofi and Kahlil, make my day....
