Am I the only one on here who every time I see Wooga's name I think of an old car horn, or one of those old cartoons where a character sees a really attractive female and his eyes pop out of his head? Just me? Okay.

This is awesome, but the orange text vs red text is killing me (e.g. I think Kadary is orange, but wouldn't want to stake my life on it).

I don't know if you're planning to do this in future years, but if so, would you consider using more obviously distinct colors?

Really appreciate the spreadshot, @soupy17 !

One question - It looks like Cam Christie is currently listed in orange, which would mean he's a priority target. But I've seen multiple posts from those that would seem to know say we have no chance with him due to his family's aversion to us. So is that orange text for him a mistake?

As far as I have heard, it is with Michigan State not Illinois.

Tre White will be a special player for us; more so than fans realize. Mark it, he will be all conference.

Boswell a projected first rounder next year. Interesting. Of course this will change dramatically over the course of the next year. I too think White will be very very good! I like his game. He was in a crappy program last year. I think we see a much different player this year!

3 takeaways

1. Has not ruled anything out, including a return to Illinois, did say that being in the portal gives him leverage.
2. As it relates to #1, he might feel bad for the guys we've brought in, because they are expecting he's gone.
3. He wouldn't even consider playing for another B1G school, small shot at Luke for donning the candystripes.

To give my opinion of the question asked if we could afford Cohawk if he wanted to come back to the Illini I am reminded of an Oracle here stating we have boosters that would pony up for OA if he wanted to come back........

I have ZERO doubt that if CoHawk wanted to come back to the Illini that JW & boosters would find a way very easily to accomplish that feat............There's no way I see JW & boosters turning their back to a 4 year Illini who states his love for the program every time he can........

I can only surmise after watching that video that if Cohawk comes back to college that he WILL be wearing an Illini uni.....he corrected Goodman at least 2 times that he's never said he wouldn't come back home to the Illini.........he is smart to enter the portal from a strictly dollars & cents approach and I hope if he does come back to college that he gets as much $$$ as possible ........And I believe he will be wearing the O & B............................

JMHO...........

He also spent a few minutes discussing how if he comes back it won't be in the B1G, said it wouldn't be fair to come back to all the fours that they signed already and consistently spoke about Illinois in past tense. I have a feeling he comes back and goes to Kansas they have unlimited NIL, a hole at the four and most importantly a championship roster.
