Like I said, love Kofi in the O&B and he is our version of Shaq. But with what you said Kofi will be 30 by the time he reaches his potential then.

That final 6 is going to move to a final 1 very quickly.
Probably just my insecurities making an appearance. Hopefully. I'll trust your earlier comments/appraisals of the situation though.
I'm not as concerned whether it's 6 or 3 or 10. If you ain't first, you're last
Not trying to beat a dead horse and no disrespect to Kof, but they are not the same. Shaq was a freak athlete and VERY skilled. He would have been a great NBA player even if he were a couple inches shorter and 50 lbs lighter. He didn't rely on his size as much as people think. However, Shaq is a good template for Kofi to follow. If he can develop the footwork, passing, and touch around the basket that Shaq had, he'll have a long NBA career.
Would look pretty suspect if he just picked Illinois without any prior recruitment there…..especially after just decommiting

Yeah and I saw Shaq play in person a few times. At LSU, CU, and Mississippi State and Kofi several times. I love Kofis physical power and that he is getting better. Kofi is a better FT shooter.
When Shaq was on the court you were getting dunked on, he was passing, dribbling and your shot was getting changed or blocked often. I've only seen a couple players compare to impacting a college game like him in person Tisdale and David Robinson were close. Chris Webber did too at times.
The team with the best player doesn't always win. That's why I am so excited about what's happening now. While we will often have the best player our team as a unit looks awesome. We are adding size and shooting with RJ and Goode getting more time next year. The additions being talked about with Shannon and Sky have me extremely excited to the point that we should be able to compete with anyone regardless of who they may have on the roster. Plus I look forward to seeing Dainja play. He appears to have a very good skill set and could back up Kofi should he return. There is reason for optimism. Now let the domino's start falling please.l!
I agree but hope beyond hope, for his sake, that he's a really fast learner. Judging by how he's developed since he's been here I think he is.
Its all about optics with Clark.
^^ Kevin Obanor went from a top 4 to picking Texas Tech in a span of like 3 hours last year if I remember correctly lol
He had a top 10 in commited like a day later he was looking for engagement and it worked
If I'm remembering right, we were part of that top ten lol
He has history with Anderson though..I wish all recruits would just pick us..but that's just me.
I'm so excited, for the first time I may have insider info on a player, but the actual insiders can correct me if I'm wrong.
My friend is good friends with a good amount of the TCU basketball team, he says that Mike Miles is considering entering the portal. Would he be a "pure veteran pg" that the staff considers going after?

Not that I need to add anything significant because these great insiders here, but I got sleazed into the On3 subscription free trial and it says a decision will be mid April after the Jordan Brand classic, but definitely by the end of April the latest.
If he can get back to shooting above 36% from 3 then he’s

Anything going to happen with this? Does it affect Clark at all? Probably not on both fronts but just curious.
Also, I have to tell you how much I appreciate you and the others for sharing what you hear. I'm sure the quality of interaction has changed since our opportunities as a program have improved, but I've always valued all the insiders info even when it wasn't good news.
