Just reading the tea leaves on here.....

Garcia: 75%
Kofi: 20%

My confidence is rising.

Garcia: 96%
Kofi: 21%

Illinois as a pre-season Top 5 pick now seeming more and more feasible. Just the two missing pieces.

Operative word: "Just"

However, Garcia should be great replacement for Kofi.

The who's who of insiders are all out today!!!

 

[Flight33]

Do anyone know even what week to expect the news (if there is)? This week or next week?

(Waits for "EOW" to be the answer)

If it's not this week, it will be later.

I hadn't realized..........another lefty!

What's up? This is the 2nd reference to Bass getting off the hook recently. Asking for a friend.

Piper has said the same thing recently.

We should get news on Kofi by tomorrow I would think? I believe July 7th is the cut off?

Based on the insides on the board it sounds like Garcia could decide this week as well

If I recall correctly, we were getting the same vibes with Boakye as we are now with Garcia, before some shenanigans pulled the rug out from under us (again). As such, will not get my hopes too high but at the same time, we have to win on one of these. And I think Garcia makes us a legit top 15 team next year. Garcia + Kofi I think we are battling for a 1 seed again.

Garcia is a great kid. Super nice. Maybe almost too nice. I don’t think he is going to pull a fast one on any of the schools in his list.

Once the roster is set, will be interesting to see how the analytics shake out. Hard to imagine losing a player as valuable as Ayo and not having a drop-off, but we have a lot of depth at guard, and a rising star in AC.

Illini reaches out: (it that Charles Barkley all over again?)

Nice clip. It's pretty clear why we're interested.

I think we land both Kofi and Garcia. Irvin is STILL in play. And (again) Branden Huff will be our next 2022 commit.
