What the hell is going on here? No mention of Dainja or Goode? Hopkins and Nance? Is this your wish list or do you truly know something?

@BashCtIllini, now that TSJ is on board, any good news on Tea Wangscald to replace Kofi?

Just a pipe dream at this point. We might get the shaft on this one.

I think it’s a joke.

Man, in that picture, Carter looks JUST like Deron Williams! Uncanny.

I admit that is who I thought it was ...

He did. But to maximize his NIL earnings, he's also going to play for Illinois.

Just a friendly reminder to recalibrate your Loyalty Snark Meter with every new Recruiting Thread.

Maybe Illinois can propose making games longer so there are enough minutes for everyone

No need. IIRC, in the Maryland home game postgame thread last January one of of our beloved brethren noted that BU got 30 mins out of Kofi in the 2nd half.

Something you will NEVER hear from a head coach:

“I just have TOO MUCH talent here and I CAN’T figure out how to use it!”

I'm not necessarily saying we should go after him, but I kind of hope we do just to piss off Michigan.

Watching the Iverson Classic and Epps has such a good first step.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll be VERY shocked if Coleman enters the portal.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll be VERY shocked if Coleman enters the portal.

If he is, he most certainly is taking his time about it. Does he have until midnight or does he have tomorrow to declare for the portal? I would love for him to stay as he will be a huge piece next year.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll be VERY shocked if Coleman enters the portal.

Given tomorrow is 5/1 and Nance is an uncertainty at this point. I don't think he will portal soon. However, he can still ask for waiver later if things change.

So weird. Collins was clearly Michigan’s starting point guard for next season and now he’s in the portal. These things just don’t make sense anymore and all the more reason you can’t worry about guaranteeing minutes or roles to players because who the hell knows what they’re going to do beyond a given season.
