If he comes back he can get a new bonneville.

No such thing anymore...
Indy - don't expect hawkins to return....to college bball, or to illinois specifically?
Haven't seen any draft declarations on his part. We expecting a late name added to the transfer portal?
That’s what I saw too. Great teammate. Plays hard.

There is no such thing. Pontiac died in 2009.
I thought I saw @Indy Illini Fan mention Ryan Kalkbrenner a couple months ago during the season about a possible target for a grad transfer. Could he be the 5 that we are waiting to enter the portal?
Remember what they said about Domask last year ...
That was when Creighton and Greg were at a standstill and Greg was actively shopping for a new job ...
I think Kalkbrenner remains at Creighton ...
I'm glad I'm not crazy in thinking this also
His stats and highlights speak for themselves imo.
Depends on what you care about...getting guys with proven results, or bragging about transfer rankings.
Any word on a time frame on the decision? A foot dragging event or what? Just curious.
Because there is no correlation between the two, got it.
People that make the rankings throw darts at a dart board.
If proven results was the end all be all we could save a ton of NIL by focusing all our efforts on D3 studs.

Two things I notice Domask and Maddox having in common
1. Coaches sons
2. Lightly recruited but were IMMEDIATE starters as true freshmen and have been all four years since.
Their games are quite different, but both are just rock solid functional winning basketball players. It's not a coincidence that Maddox has won three straight conference titles at two different schools.
Maddox would play as many minutes as he could handle on next year's team, because that's how Brad rolls.
(And so yeah, I do just think the rankings are wrong on Maddox. A number of guys above him I wouldn't rather have, notably Skyy Clark, Bronny James, Marcus Hill, Xavier Amos. Maddox should be at least 20 spots higher.)

That’s the joke!!!
Sorry if this has been addressed, but would we look at someone like Jeremy Roach as an alternative?
Ball handler, good shot, good D...all against high major competition.
Too bad. It would be nice if he decided he wanted to play his last year closer to home so his family could come watch him more.
You gotta ignore the rankings and look at the programs recruiting him. He's clearly going up a level and people are selling him on a big role.

Also a very good point.
Offer lists have always been a better indicator than rankings and in PortalWorld that's arguably truer than ever.
(If we had NIL$ transparency that would be best of all, but alas)
When I say proven results, that's after adjusting for level of competition.
Go look at Cam Spencer's stats prior to transferring, and his transfer rankings. He excelled against B1G opponents and was ranked pretty low. I'd much rather have someone like that than some highly ranked guy with lots of potential who hasn't proven anything yet.
