Kentucky hasn’t even passed the NIL
Emotions are everything. Knowledge about a situation or stats are not important.
Unfortunate
Kentucky hasn’t even passed the NIL
Didn't their governor sign an executive order last week?Kentucky hasn’t even passed the NIL
Not sure why everyone thinks him going to Kentucky is going to make him more marketable than Illinois. At Illinois he is the MAN and will be the star of the BIG bb network. Chicago media will jump onboard and the vast alumni fandom will support him as well. Don't think Whitman is going to take this laying down.I wonder how much he made? If he didn't make as much as he wanted then maybe that played into his thinking?...Bottom line if he truly wants to profit on his name, likeness etc and a Kentucky wants him then he's stupid to not go
I just have to give a Thumbs Up to your handle. He was a great character in The Wire.Leverage for what? Doesn't make any sense unless he actually wants to leave.
Hasn't hurt them in the past...Kentucky hasn’t even passed the NIL
Yesterday Kofi was all in on professional basketball.
Almost all of us would have loved our roster with a Garcia or some other 5/4 solid addition from the portal.
Today Kofi says he is keeping his options open….on all fronts…..which includes a potential return to Illinois.
OMG!!!!!!
Illini Nation’s world just crumbled.
The panic.
The frenzy.
The social media ridiculousness.
Relax people. For the love of God relax.
I promise the sun will rise tomorrow, and the next day……
And guess what…?
We are going to have a solid team in 21/22.
With or without Kofi, the program has turned the corner.
I cannot wait to watch the boys gel this year.
Just breathe….you’re gonna be ok
It’s all gonna be ok
it’s gonna ok
Ok
I think he loved every minute he played here. His social media posts after putting his name in the draft weren’t generic, hollow messages. His demeanor on the court and strong chemistry with his teammates was palpable. (Unlike, say, Ace.) He could go elsewhere, but it doesn’t mean he didn’t love being an Illini. Not mutually exclusive in my book.This is the Kofi friend-zone. Best hope is that he goes pro so you can still pretend the love was real.
I called it.....back in April...
Coaching Carousel
The OA rumors are already out in public so if Cal doesn’t make it happen their fans will riot. Therefore, I fully expect Cal to rightfully do whatever it takes to get his man if we do indeed make a late pushwww.illinoisloyalty.com

Are you sure he hasn’t hired an agent?Still Believe that Kofi not hiring an agent (when he easily could have) means he has not closed the door on coming back. And who knows with fresh financial incentive to return...
I tend to think you’re right, but we all saw the $$ thrown around in the FBI probe. Once it’s legal, it seem logical the money will flow much easier. Perhaps spread more evenly over more players will be the difference?I don't know if the list below is accurate. #10 among baseball players is at $250,000. I think people are way overselling the dollars for endorsements and from a national perspective really overselling it.
I think we'll find that primary potential here is for the same people buying suites and advertising also add to that by paying the athletes, even though the endorsement will probably do little for their bottom line. No doubt a few lesser known businesses will try to make a mark as well and might even be successful.
