I thought I saw an article that said entire Illinois athletic program had couple hundred thousand in NIL last year but I cant find it. Only $ amount is $65k for campus ink t-shirts. I don't know how much Kofi got for OSF health care and TCCI mfg. These just don't seem to be type of companies that would be making 7 figure payouts to recruits/ahtletes.
You would need billionaires alums to step forward like - Tom Siebel, Larry Ellison, Shahid Kahn (owns Panthers) , Marc Andreesen, Martin Eberhard (Tesla cofounder). Jon Corzine (Goldman Sachs) Jeremy Stoppelman (YELP founder)

Kofi Cockburn's decision about his basketball future is anything but simple

T/CCI is already using the slogan and hashtag "#CoolLikeKofi" and had Cockburn put on a T-shirt with that saying after he inked his contract.

Proverbial degree in basket making?
A quick question regarding Nance. Since he is graduating then does he not need to enter the portal to avoid sitting a year? So the May 1st deadline doesn't apply to him then. Does it apply to graduating transfers or not? It seems it does not but I'm not sure. I noticed he didn't mention the portal at all but does he need to in his situation?
So not to break up the party. But are there any transfers we are actually linked to at this point? Maybe the dude from Wichita state?

Grad transfer....deadline doesn't mean anything......no he wouldn't mention the portal when announcing he is entering the draft.....he would mention the portal when he withdraws his name from the draft.
Must apply to the transfer portal by May 1st...
For all their drama, Brad really maneuvered the MIF/Irvin's situation as well as he could it seems. Got in with Chin and MIF to get Ayo and Miller, but had to spurn Horton-Tucker to do so. It looked like a questionable decision after Maui in 2018 but we know now that ended up being a huge win. 3 years of Ayo >> 1 year of THT.
And then he brings in Tim Anderson to replace Chin just as Meanstreets is becoming the more prominent program compared to MIF. Bravo!
Brad Underwood: ‘I Love Illinois’.
“But, man, I love Illinois. We’ve got the best fans, I’ve got a great boss, we’ve got a top 10 program and we’re winning Big Ten championships.”
Brad Underwood on K-State Rumors: 'I Love Illinois'
The search for a new head coach is on in Manhattan, Kansas and the Wildcat faithful haven’t been bashful about who they would like to see at the podium next season. Illinois coach Brad Underwood is a former K-State player and assistant coach and is who pretty much everyone in the state of...

And Brad is looking for players who WANT to love Illinois, too. No ‘begging’ needed around here. Not now, not ever.
The greatest trade of all time.....TA is light years better than Chin.
Patience is really a virtue these days. Everybody just wants immediate results, not plans.
Well thanks for the verification. While I'd love to have Nance and if he pulls his name and he would likely leave. I dont think BU is waiting around on Nance or anyone to decide for ling. BU is seeking out other viable options that are willing to sign on rather than wait on someone to make up their mind like we did Kofi last year . I am looking forward to see who they may be.
I feel like most of the crazy takes on here lately have come from 2 sides:
-Fans who are still scarred from the down years, and fail to see that we're on another level now. Thus, they are expecting the sky to come falling down any time now.
-"Fair weather" fans who have decided to become more active now that we are good again. They don't really know much about college basketball, but like to voice their crazy takes anyway.

Just shows you its never a lock until they are signed. So why even go there.

Somebody wanna fix this up for the staff to include in an NIL offer?

Going to need a logo and typography update.
A lot of people on here have patience but when someone on here posts that certain players are a lock, this is what happens. I understand they are dealing with young men that sometimes change their mind at the last second so why stick your neck out like that knowing this.
After reading a lot of people stressing out I think maybe we should trust the guys we are paying big money to figure out the best fits for the team.
Now let's get back to talking about 1970s high school basketball and neck sizes like we are supposed to.

Maybe we've joked about it so much that everything just thinks it's only a joke, but no one should ever take a "lock" as ironclad until there's a signed letter proving it.
