Just noticed that wikipedia has Kofi Cockburn in Korea on the Seoul Samsung team. Also found this on youtube, but unfortunately I don't understand Korean. Looks like a fair analysis though. Looks like Kofi is attempted more mid range jumpers while in Japan. Apparently their uniform is blue! So Kofi will have gone from Orange to Blue.

Anyone else see what Trent Frazier posted on instagram earlier today.... "Chapter 2 ⏳🤞🏾"... I think this mean he's going to continue with Zenit because prior post was him returning to St Petersburg. Happy for him, but man, I wish we could see him play state side! Also, it would mean we'd get some more basketball cards to collect (there are only two right now, Panini Prizm Draft and Chronicles Draft).

Wow there is so much news coming out on former Illini that are now professionals. This is probably the BEST interview/update/career overview of Brandon Paul assembled. It's been 10 years, but still find myself rooting for him!

basketnews.com

Brandon Paul knows where he'd like to retire, wants to find a team like Ulm

If ratiopharm Ulm emerged as the ultimate Cinderella story in European basketball this summer, Brandon Paul can lay claim to having been part and parcel of a special group. It wasn't just that the German club won its first domestic championship title. That trophy was the first in Paul's career...

Don't know either but it's hard to judge when we don't know all the things going on outside of his professional life. As an outsider I felt like he had such a great personality and would be posting more about life after college and his progress towards his goals but there really has been nothing. I hope he is focused on improving and jusy has no time for social media!!!! BTW, I was thinking it would be cool to start an independent sports card company that makes cards for players outside the USA for fans... super niche market but it would be awesome.

I have a friend that runs a card company in Dallas & he makes his own cards- very professional. It is an art though to do so. Took him a while to master it.

Any samples you can share or social media link to his work? I ran offset press in highschool and made simple monochrome cards for the the high school team.

He was a physical specimen at Illinois with Fletch. Looks really out of shape in this video. What could have been if he stayed…. He’s an Illini Legend and I’ll always wish him well.
