I was looking for this exact same thing. I forgot about the interview today with Goodman. Did anyone watch that could give possibly give us a quick recap? I can't find the video anywhere.
That videos also 3 years old so good chance he’s improved quite a bit in the last 3 years
Sounds like a one year rental that is mutually beneficial.

Hawkins is gone. If he comes back to college basketball he said “I wouldn’t come back to play in the BIG, and I don’t want to take away from the new players on the Illini that aren’t expecting me to come back”
This sucks….

Makes sense. For the most part 1st division foreign players are going to make more in NIL than as developmental pieces in euroleague
Sounds promising! Do you think we are in a good spot for both that are rumored?

Just a general idea of guys pro scouts are keeping an eye on.
Yes we have confirmation we are pursuing him, but it is unlikely he will be coming overseas to play before he goes NBA
Yep. There is a ton of variance in the quality of competition in Europe. Playing a year of NCAA ball will give scouts a better apples to apples comparison of how they stack up against other potential draftees.
Thank you- it sounds like we definitely are trying with Demin but may be a long shot.So, I hope I'm causing any trouble for LVille by pointing this out, as the insiders have been much more tight-lipped lately, but Demin was mentioned at least once, by name.
We are definitely pursuing a transfer wing from
College as well
Ivisic is the leading candidate at C and very real possibility
I’m feeling much better about next year just with these three facts alone

Some damned fool thing in the Balkans.
That makes it worse.
All this "star wing" talk. There really isn't anybody even remotely close to a "star wing" currently in the transfer portal outside of Kadary imo. Are there? Just think we need to land Kadary or else we won't really have a "star wing" by any means tbh.
Honestly, I might put Egor #2 in terms of "wings" in the portal and Europe. Don't get me wrong I think the sky's the limit for that kid, and I'd love to see him play big minutes, but as a young freshman, immediately after coming in, I don't think counting on him to be THE "star wing" is that great of an idea.

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.
bonus
#4 hates Mizzou

Not just saw it at release in a theatre, but at the Co-Ed Theatre on Green Street! My girlfriend and I saw it and enjoyed it, but my roommate at Weston Hall went nuts over it. He was quoting lines from it for weeks!
Same.
Yes sir, thank you.Gotta follow the spreadsheet ...

I haven't listened to it all, really just the first 15 minutes or so. Don't have much to add to what @Hoopster said, but I will say it's at least a relief to hear Coleman completely, unequivocally rule out going to any other school in the B1G.
Finally, if he does return to the NCAA, the likelihood of him returning to Illinois seems to heavily rest on what we do with the final couple of additions in the portal. Assuming we land our big guy here soon and leave 1 scholarship open, those final 2 will be critical.
If we spend big on those final 2 and thus land higher profile guys, it would seem to pretty much rule out Coleman returning to Illinois. (If we happen to land both Demin and a higher profile portal wing, for example - No Coleman) If we strike out with 1 or both of them, though, then maybe there's a bit more of a chance of Coleman returning, but still probably unlikely, as far as I can tell.

Oh Coleman. I am going to miss him. He is done at Illinois this is about as officially unofficial as it gets
