Also, serious question. Can Illinois take on non-grad transfers with over two years of credits? I remember that being an issue with Zakhari Franklin on the football side. It's also (allegedly, according to them) why Terrence Shannon didn't enroll in Ann Arbor. So I'm not sure if there is a set rule.

Agents are interesting. If he's trying to lump in his other clients who wouldn't play (bilic, petro) into a package deal, that seems to indicate he doesn't think that they could make more and play more elsewhere, which in turn undermines his argument for how much they're worth.

Guys, last time we battled with Michigan for a portal target it went pretty well:

You mean when he chose Michigan, but it didn't work out due to admissions problems?

He wasn’t exactly thrilled Petro couldn’t see the court all year …

He did an interview that someone sent me and I can’t find it now but Misko didn’t exactly hide that he wasn’t thrilled about that situation …

He sold us a lemon and is mad about it? Shouldn't that be the other way around?

Didn't that battle have more to do with TSJ classes transferring at Michigan than Illinois being a better fit? Also, the Morez Johnson battle did not work out well.

Funny you bring that up … I think it could be the exact same story …

Very tough to get into Michigan as a Junior …

But also - don’t think they’re the biggest competition for Blackwell … I think we are our own competition … Come with a strong 🍑 offer and get this 💩 DONE …

We start pissing around and that’s when I think it’d get interesting …

Is the delusional agent making issues with our retention too? Or is it just acquisitions of new players?

Academics typically always work themselves out …

Shouldn’t be an issue for us …

I'm not going to hate on this because he's just a squirrel trying to make a nut. I'm reminded of the scene from Moneyball:

"[Skyy], you're 37. How about you and I be honest about what each of us want out of this? I want to milk the last ounce of [basketball] you got in you. And you want to stay in the show? Let's do that now"

Out of curiosity, is he someone that could play overseas and make decent $ doing so?
