It’s legal now. Put pressure on a booster to give him some $$ for name advertising where there wasn’t pressure to do so before.What does that mean? Leverage for an illegal payment?
Stop it. You’re telling me Kentucky looks at players the same way we do when they leave? Awful take. You just said it in your post. “Kofi will be a guy anywhere he goes” you’re right. He will be “a guy”. Here he would be THE guy.People love this, "At other schools he's just another guy. At my school, he's the guy". This is not accurate at all. Kofi will be a guy anywhere he goes.
Also people swore Adam Miller would be "the guy" here and I saw so many fans turn on him early on when he was in Curbelo's shadow... Just saying
Now in regards to exposure, I can't comment on that. But who's to say there aren't endorsement offers being put on the table elsewhere right now? It's one thing to talk about theoretical offers in Champaign, but if you're getting a good offer right now... why wouldn't you? Also this might be a good opportunity for him to see the endorsement offers everywhere. Just a thought.
I meant he'll be the guy anywhere. Sure, at Kentucky, it'll be more short lived but blue bloods aside, it's pretty much the same situation anywhere else. You're free to think what you think. I disagree.Stop it. You’re telling me Kentucky looks at players the same way we do when they leave? Awful take. You just said it in your post. “Kofi will be a guy anywhere he goes” you’re right. He will be “a guy”. Here he would be THE guy.
All these posters' dads need to take their phone away.Everyone freaking relax. And chill out on Twitter too.
Leverage for what?Talked to a couple of different people about this. The likeliest place for him to come back to is Illinois, he is more using the transfer portal as leverage from what I have been told. There is other factors at play about if he could even play in college this coming season. Everyone stop freaking out, if he comes back to college I would be surprised if he doesn't play at Illinois next season.
Jamaican food at the training table.Leverage for what?
Umm more money than what he’s already been promised if he returns.Leverage for what?
I'd imagine similar to sneaker deals, companies take a chance. New Balance took a chance on Kawhi Leonard and that paid off. I forsee national companies betting on various Player of the Year candidates. Kofi includedI’m curious and maybe this has been discussed elsewhere, but do people think in general endorsement deals for someone at Kofi’s level will be national or local? It just seems to me that very few players would warrant national type deals. I mean Garza was the prohibitive favorite to win POY this past year, and I just can’t imagine a national company signing a deal with him this past year if it had been legal. I think in some ways Kofi might be more compelling than Garza, but I just don’t see the national deals for him either — whether at Illinois or a blue blood.
Sponsors of the team (let’s say Busey, for instance) have made a marketing investment that becomes more valuable as the team gets better. So Busey now has an incentive to make a marketing investment in Kofi to get him to stay.Leverage for what?
Waiting for the announcement that Kofi Cockburn is the new national spokesman for the Jacksonville Jaguars! /s
unfortunately it’s super easy to make a troll account appearing to be an illini fan and send inflammatory messages/tweetsPeople really need to lay off of him on twitter. Kofi doesn't have the thickest skin in the world.
I’d like to get back to giffing, please. That’s much more relaxing.
