CoHawk would probably push Booth to the deep bench as they have similar skill set. The "humidifier" is going to play since he is deadeye from 3. Boswell is going to be our PG. Morez will be our center. Not sure if Davis can play 2 or if it will have to be DGL. I would love Brad to pitch to Coleman we are going to run plays to get you open 3 point shot attempts and I want you to take 10 3 pointers per game. Maybe have Coleman bring the ball up anytime Boswell is not in game.

Some of "our guys" left for the portal. Too many. I didn't want any of them to leave. I liked them all, really.

But then, if you are one of the incoming from the portal (or our freshman recruits), and we do have some good ones,
they may be thinking . . .

"More playing time for me!"

There's always a flip side.

100%, I'm not an insider by any means so I can just go off of what I see....Coleman wants to make sure he's covered $$$ if he doesn't go to draft, he said so in his followup statement.

If the staff did in fact tell him he'd get top shelf NIL $ if he came back.... then why would he even entertain transferring?

One way to determine "fair value" is to see what the market offers and then let your current boss match it.

Semi-OT, but the frustrating thing is that the "bones" of a very large, engaged and NIL-donating Illini FOOTBALL fan base are there. Massive alumni base with plenty of money, no direct instate competition for fans, etc. However, our football fan base is largely divided into three groups, from my experience - the absolute diehards who make up the 35k in Memorial Stadium even when we're bad, the more casual fans who swell our crowds up to about 55k when there is hope and the truly fair weather fans whose "favorite team is the Illini" but are not willing to buy in if we are just going to disappoint them.

Unfortunately, the latter two groups are what we N-E-E-D to survive in college football's new landscape, and they are both (perhaps rightfully) intent on the program "showing them wins" before they buy in ... so we are caught in a terrible chicken-and-the-egg scenario. JMO, but we probably have one of the largest number/population discrepancies between our "engaged" fan base and our "latent" fan base in the entire country. MAN, what I would give to have more Illini fans who had the mindset of Texas A&M fans, where it bothered them so much that we weren't yet elite that we would do damn near anything possible to will it to happen, lol.

This invalidates not only the entire rest of your post, but it calls into question every other thing you've ever said or will say.
