Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

nope. we will be a top 15 team either way if the pieces fall as I think they will. something is in the works

A little too obvious don't you think

 

[LvilleILL]

If Kofi leaves you feel we have a good replacement?

yup. the transfer they want will be good.
Also, Dain is going to be rly good now that he is finally in shape. Just needs to stay healthy

Sounds like we're looking ahead....BU always has capable plan b...if it goes that way....we will be a quicker and more switchable team. But I also want Kofi for another year

 

[LvilleILL]

They really want Ramey.....would be the ideal fit

 

[LvilleILL]

I understand you wouldn't want to leak who is leaving but can you tell us which role we need the help in potentially then at least?

would only be center if Kofi goes. Everyone else on the roster that is expected back right now will be back

If Kofi leaves let's just get Johni Broome and call it a night

He looked great against Murray State in that conference tournament final.

I’m happy for Kofi if he decides to try the Pro path. That’s what this program needs. Players come in highly rated then develop then move on to play professionally. That attracts more good players which it sounds like is happening.

Even if he goes to the G league or elsewhere and his opportunity cost is a half a million bucks or more? I will feel sorry for him not getting better unbiased advice.

What is the delay on grandy and hutch? Are they contemplating coming back?

the transfer is not johni broome

 

[Heisenbobble]

the transfer is not johni broome

I guess I didn't realize Illinois was close to landing another transfer.

 

[Idea Gardener]

@LvilleILL - I appreciate your Kofi update being clear and to the point. I'm okay with it going either way, but sometimes vagueness about a situation is more uncomfortable than having a clear understanding even if that's not ideal.

Personally, I'm not really one for trying to interpret gifs, and of course I understand things aren't always clear, but regardless thanks for being transparent just now.

 

[IL309]

I’m craving Dominos!!!

 

[ILFaninFL]

It's time for Kofi to live his dream. If the NBA doesn't work out ... love to have him back. But best of luck big fella.

 

[GallopingGhost]

I’m not reacting till I see an official announcement from Kofi. Here we were 4 days ago sure that Curbelo was coming back. This is nothing against our insiders, you guys are great. But I’d rather wait for official news

No one said Belo was for sure coming back. Said it’s been talked about between him and the staff and then the board ran with it as he was coming back.
