Jeez that sucks
They got the girlfriend a spot on the WBB team ...
Kansas never wavered on their original offer ...
Ole Miss took Davis ... Arkansas said we don't want you at the asking price ... Texas was not even recruiting him ... We were not willing to go higher than the offer we gave ...
And in the end ... Kansas was the most $$$ ... Had the girlfriend there ...
Surprised Storr camp didn't wait a little longer considering they came down nearly 500k off their asking price ...
I wanted storr because I thought he could be on the tsj trajectory but I agree this somehow doesn't sting.

10 bucks says they break up before the season starts
Coleman has his ups and down but bleeds orange and blue. He is a 4 year Illini who has never entered the portal. Nobody can ever doubt his effort on the floor. He sacrificed his body to guard two all american 5's because it was best for team. Even if his knee is not recovered I would love for him to come back for a 5th year. He can still shoot from downtown, handle the ball and pass. Great Illini who was overshadowed by TSJ All American year and Marcus first team All B10 but very important to our team. Wish him nothing but the best. Hope he makes NBA but always welcome back at Illinois.
It's undeniable for what he did at Wisc last year. It is nice to have a Storr replacement who can pass though.
I don't know about anyone else but I hope our center to be named later is around 7 feet and has some skill on both sides of the ball. Don't want to get bullied underneath again this coming year. Need a legitimate rim protector.
Love to hear this from one of our insiders. More positivity please!
Not sure why this seems to be news, I thought we moved on from Storr a little ways back and there was zero expectation that he was coming here.

Hey Indy , have you heard any news about huntie baby coming back for his covid year to KU ??.........asking for all the proud Illini Nation owners of our undefeated record against the loathesome di*khead..........I really really am.......
So if Hawkins is likely to go undrafted or make an NBA roster then why not comeback and get paid well? I can't understand why he wouldn't at least ponder it.

How much did Kansas give him? 1 Mill?
I totally agree with some of the points on not sweating missing Storr and Maddox, but it still sucks whiffing on multiple of our supposed top guys.

I think I read a figure of 850K somewhere?
It was done in Minneapolis …
Then Mom took over … Ask any coach involved in the recruitment … Including Self …
Total PITA …
Honestly glad we moved on …
