I'm guessing that the staff laid it out to him when he committed.

Any UK players that he is now following? I don’t have an account to check.
He was following 709 people on Monday.
Think a bunch of guys would have concerns. Adding a big wing shooter would pretty much kill any Jake Davis minutes this year even if he was already looking at a situational role.
Davis would probably be better off redshirting then burning a year of eligibility and not playing.
White, Ty, Hum, and Booth could also an impact to their minutes. Honestly, Boswell too if he doesn't develop into more than just a catch and shoot guy.
All that being said I really like a Kasparis, Ty, Riley, Hum, Ivisic lineup. All 6'5+ with a lot of shooting on the floor.
Guys on Sleepers basically said that transfers who have not started school (summer) could get out of their deals and go somewhere else. I think Ty and DGL are stuck. Not sure about freshman.
Coleman isn’t going to Mizzou.
What about my post gives any indication I think that's a possibility? Was just pointing out that between Mizzou and UNC are the only two I could absolutely not handle outside the B1G
Guess I expected too much common sense out of loyalty posters

I don't think Ty was even close to 20 mpg last season, but winning the BTT and making the Elite Eight was plenty good enough for him last year and I suspect will also be good enough for him next year. Don't know anything about White but you'd think he'd also like to be part of a great team as well.
Exactly, since any player can up and leave at any moment, the coaching staff whose jobs depend on winning can’t afford to not stack as much talent as they can. Do think some sort of multi year contracts with buyouts, deferred compensation earned for sticking around an extra year, etc. would be good for everyone.

Apologies on the misread.
As has been said before we need to stop worrying about players feelings of being recruited over. If we want to compete with the elite then we need to operate like the elite. If kids are pissed then beat him out or transfer. Blue bloods don't lose a minutes sleep over bringing in a 5 star and playing him over current players..we shouldn't either. I appreciate our coaching staff continuing to try and improve the team
He did say he wanted his next school to actually have a Football program...
There mere thought of Miznoz can lower one’s reading abilities. We understand.
Boswell is a beast and will start. He is more than catch and shoot. Toward the end of the year, Illini and Rutgers will have the best backcourts in the BIG (in my opinion).

Hold on now. I'm gonna play referee here and call BS on SoILIllini. **throws flag**
You ask what about your post gives any indication you think that's a possibility? Uh... saying "I would add UNC and Mizzou to the list." You can't throw that out there then say you didn't think it's a possibility. I don't think Coleman's going to outer space but if I said "I'd hate it if Coleman ended up on Mars" I've at least suggested -- no matter how absurd -- that it's a possibility.
Noblesville Illini: After further review, there was no misread so your apology is being returned to you.

Who let the Missouri fan in here?
jk
Sorry, one poster said he couldn't stomach Coleman in the B1G. SoIL just added two other schools that he couldn't stomach. He wasn't suggesting Missouri was a possibility any more than he the first poster was suggesting that Minnesota was a possibility. I think the comment was more about the schools out there that you'd hate to see a beloved player go to.

Come on, man… he said “any indication.” Merely suggesting the possibility meets that criteria.
Perhaps instead of a snarky response, he could’ve simply said “I don’t really think he’d go to Mizzou.” But the snarky response then feign of ignorance warrants official message board rebuke.

Noticed that after the edit option had already expired. Happens on about half my posts too so I can’t fight you on it.
Just caught the final half or so.
It got me thinking that the way we played without TJ is the way I could see this new squad playing. But with some improvements on shooting, ball sharing/movement, and size.
