HUGE late addition to the portal. Averaged 17.7 points and 9.5 rebounds last season. 7 footer with three years left.

Gotta be careful where you spill your coffee. Hasn't McDonald's been sued for coffee cock burns?

I would give him a look or three.

Is that an NIL contract in your pants, or are you happy to see me?

Shocking news. It sounds like there is speculation as to who has been in Cockburn's ear.

What are Illinois basketball fans to make of Kofi’s decision to enter into the transfer portal?


Honestly, this is a bit of a gut punch. I never dreamed that if Kofi came back to college, it would be with a different team. I realize that the Illini lost a lot of their coaching staff, but Brad Underwood is still the head coach and leading this team.

With that being said, it wouldn’t shock me to see Kofi pull his name out of the NBA Draft. Something happened in the past few weeks. Someone has been in his ear. If I had to guess, I would say Kofi backs out of the NBA Draft and ends up with the Kentucky Wildcats.

As far as roster construct goes, I have mentally moved on from Kofi a while ago. Illinois has Omar Payne as the No. 5 as of right now. I think we can add another player to the mix, but Payne should be serviceable. Illinois’ lineup doesn’t revolve around the big man. Andre Curbelo is the future and we have some great veterans returning.

I hate to admit this, as I don't like the high number of transfers, but this is a guy I secretly hoped might opt for a change of scenery, taking US-412 to northbound I-35, then sliding onto I-135, taking a right on 21st Street and stopping at the first university he sees.
