Something something recruiting is fluid.You was right … Bino looking something like this right now
Fun fact: I know a guy named Shin Splints…Shin splints are no fun.
Rookie mistake. That's okay, you can still bounce back!And I had a great name to share. I guess that is what I get for deciding to work that my desk and not watch the recruiting thread all morning.
Big guy Efton Reid transferring out of LSU.....He would be a definite take for me.
We could be like Purdue was last year... 2 strong bigs.5 star big guys don’t come when a first team AA is in front of them …
Having learned before aging to double digits that only a fool uses the words always and never, I will say that I give the probability of Kofi's return a number beginning with a decimal. For the life of me, I cannot fathom a reason for his return. Unless........................................he really, really, really enjoys playing in C-U with his teammates AND has been promised a 7 figure NIL which is more than he can earn as an NBA rookie.Interesting. Given that the word from insiders like yourself is that Kofi is coming back and Hawkins is staying, are we recruiting him to come off the bench? I'm surprised he'd entertain that.
He is very very very far from a first round lock... Never once have I seen him on a draft board for first or second round. He's too slow laterally and not bouncy enough for the NBA and doesn't have a necessary valuable signature skill to counter that (e.g., passing, shooting, defense). Love him, but he's a college guy, not an NBA guy. Could he be an undrafted free agent type of guy who maybe gets a two-way deal and eventually works his way onto a roster as a third big man to play 10-12 minutes a game? Sure. But no team is using a draft pick on that.Having learned before aging to double digits that only a fool uses the words always and never, I will say that I give the probability of Kofi's return a number beginning with a decimal.

Please enlighten me as to why "Insiders" think he will return and what would compel him to value those reasons more than his NBA dream.....if he is a first round lock and gets that feedback.
He did improve in all areas at which he needed improvement, maybe not enough in passing out of doubles, but noticeable improvements. He listens to his coaches and responds. And he is good in the locker room. I see him as a tremendous value to a team willing to coach him up.
He's not and he won't. Highest I've seen him on any mock is in the mid 50s and he doesn't even show up at all in most mocks. He's most likely playing overseas or in the G League next year if he leaves, and it appears he's making more in NIL than he would on a G League or overseas deal.Please enlighten me as to why "Insiders" think he will return and what would compel him to value those reasons more than his NBA dream.....if he is a first round lock and gets that feedback.

5 star big guys don’t come when a first team AA is in front of them …
Because Illinois doesn't get the first 5* for second one to get behind...The "blue bloods" get 5* right behind 5*
Why can't Illinois?
NIL might be changing this, I hopeBecause Illinois doesn't get the first 5* for second one to get behind...
Seriously though, that's more of a one and done model which is not what Illinois seems to be going for at the moment.
Speculating LSU will be fully depleted of star talent next season.Big guy Efton Reid transferring out of LSU.....He would be a definite take for me.
