Maybe was his birthday? To be determined later...unless JG wants to tell.

I guess you'll have to do some research for yourself, but it's interesting
TC do we chase Carr from Minnesnowta or do we keep after the guards we’re going after? TyTy, Burnette, and-so on.The transfer portal this year is going to be crazy. I think the staff will be searching it diligently, particularly in the area of front court players.

Crazy is right! I’m betting there will be close to 2000 players. I wonder if some will end up without a scholarshiop.The transfer portal this year is going to be crazy. I think the staff will be searching it diligently, particularly in the area of front court players.
I can’t see Frazier or Damonte coming back.
Thought any rumors of that were squashed at Senior night. I would think if Illinois makes a deep run that they would capitalize on that and try to play professionally. If, and I say if because as much as I want them to go all the way, this is the NCAA tournament and one bad game and anyone can get knocked out. Illinois included. That being said IF they get to the final four Kofi is all but gone. What I would hope is With the success of his former two teammates (Ayo and Ace) that Burnett commits and he will be a one and done. Not sure how they fill the void left by Kofi. My guess would be a transfer. Add Hutchinson in the mix along with the incoming class and those who will remain. We would be an easy Top Ten preseason selection. A big win today and a deep run will do wonders for in state recruiting for some time moving forward.
Got to give A TON Of credit to Ayo and his family!
They have been unbelievable ambassadors for the program and getting Illinois back to a perennial contender. Ayo and Kofi need their jerseys hanging from the ceiling of the Assembly Hall (State Farm Center). Let’s get it done today and keep that momentum going!!!!!!
Go Illini!!!!!!!

JMHO.........................Hard pass................. too much hero baller for me.....
Not current recruiting, not sure where to put it but former target Jordan Nesbitt averaged a whopping 1.2 ppg I saw this year. Perhaps that worked out best for us afterall.
The transfer portal this year is going to be crazy. I think the staff will be searching it diligently, particularly in the area of front court players.
Kofi leaving is kind of expected for me. I’m now concerned about Giorgi.
No. He joined the team early in January, like Mac Etienne at UCLA. They are both pre-Freshman because of COVID.
Kofi leaving is far from a done deal.
Giorgi would get a lot of minutes next year if Kofi leaves as expected . Those minutes would likely translate into him having much more value in the overseas basketball market - where he would most likely land if he indeed wants to play professionally .
if Kofi stays for one more year ,that would be awesome
Nesbitt has only played a small amount of minutes in 3 games. Can we wait to see a little more from him to render an opinion.

I fully expect to sometime seeing Giorgi on Dancing With the Stars someday.....

NPOY, unanimous First Team All American....maybe another B1G Champ and FF run.....it's doing wonders for Ayo's draft stock. First round guaranteed contract.
If I was a betting man I'd bet he's back.
I like Preston from Ohio.
