Maybe I’m old but this whole thing feels like a total ***** move. If I were an Illini fan (
) I’d be pissed off he did all of this and came back.
) I’d be pissed off he did all of this and came back.Kofi announces return to IL
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
So literally, he announced that nothing has happened lol
So I guess he untransferred. 
Our roster was set by the time Cockburn and Duren became available for the upcoming season, why is this so hard for people to understand?
It’s like he left his wife, couldn’t find a better women, then went back. My opinion is if UK wanted him he would have came. Once UK cooled on him he went backMaybe I’m old but this whole thing feels like a total ***** move. If I were an Illini fan (
Kofi, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother, you're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do.
Everyone, everyone wants UK on their list yet relatively few choose to actually come here. It says a lot about our value and standing but it's getting old. Maybe we should charge NIL for putting our darn hat on the table?!

He'll make sure to troll UK with false "hinters" in the process, too.Next comes Duren picking Memphis over UK.Fun times.
I think it's easy for people to connect the dots between Cal supposedly not contacting Kofi and UK ramping up recruiting with Duren, but I am not optimistic about Duren coming here. I'd love to be wrong, but that's just how I see it.
If that's true and Cal misses on Jalen it's fair to question Cal's decision making.
What an absolute attention seeking dofus.
I hate to admit that I agree. Just doesn’t make sense at this moment to pass on a proven All American unless he knows Duren is a CAT. Idk. Time will tell.
After 2012 he could afford to take that chance but not after 9-16.
Sure we wanted him. Stop being stupid. He's a returning 2nd Team All American. What we didn't want was him acting like a little ***** when Cal shunned him. I'll add, I understand he probably got his feelings hurt. Kids today don't handle that stuff very well. No need to do this anticlimactic nonsense.
He gets 2 dimes and a nickel. He’s got a jar full of quotas! @RunninRichie is a good poster, I mean this is a message board.
There may be some exposure value in these players using UK like a disposable diaper. But in the long run the roller coaster ride it puts the fans on, in the end, may outweigh the benefits.
What a big *** attention seeking queen Kofi is…he literally did all this to stay at Illini.
Yeah I hope we get them in the tourney and we spank that ***.

After playing Askew 35 minutes a game last year and then waiting until the end of the year to put Mintz at PG when several of us were calling for it throughout the season. The Cal nut swingers called us idiots and trolls. Well guess what? The team looked much better with Mintz at PG. So yes, I do question Cal’s judgment.
i would say if we don’t land duren the committee will match us with a second or third rd meeting with Illinois and they will put us out. Again cal cares more about 1 or two players and their feelings instead of the entire program and winning.
This is the weirdest thing maybe ever in terms of "recruiting."
He left the draft, and rather than announcing he's back--he went into the transfer portal. You don't enter the transfer portal to "stay home." The whole "I'm back" announcement after leaving the combine probably brings you tons of love and excitement. Why cause the fanbase angst by entering the transfer portal and waiting a few weeks to come back?
Maybe he just wanted attention. But again, there's a lot of attention and excitement . Maybe he wanted more attention from the entire country. But then any popularity he built up with UK fans is killed when you pretend you're considering us but you're not. Moreso, he goes on to do this troll post where he's in blue and says "gotcha."
That's extremely immature. You don't gain anything or benefit in anyway from that. Why throw that in? Why even enter the transfer portal?
Did he decide he wanted to troll his former coaches? Did he see Kentucky fans picking on Illini insiders on Twitter and decide he needed to troll us with this fake transfer situation?
Maybe he really did want to come here and Cal said no. Is he just being petty?
I hope we play them. And I hope he gets eaten alive between Oscar, and inability to guard the pick and roll.

Yes he is.....the other fella....not so much
He didn't do all of that to stay.....he couldn't get any takers is what happened.
If Michigan State hasn’t won a title in 20+ years they sure the hell won’t. The Entire B1G can’t win a NC.
UK still leads 2-1 in recruiting battles this summer after stealing Antigua and Coleman. Those two are worth more in the long run than Cockburn.
Didn’t you have a whole thread apologizing for trolling people? I swear I thought that was you. I guess not
Wanting them is one thing, who wouldn’t?
Selling them on a platoon system which would damn near be a necessity with that many capable players is another..
Didn't you get a timeout for being an out of order poster?
I thought that was you. Yep it was.
I pay no attention to recruiting. None.
I get a few things from guys I’ve conversed with for decades from a few different sites and programs. Some things come from some AAU guys I know, and from time to time they know a few family members of recruits.
People need to stop looking at players instagrams and Twitter accounts. Let it go, quit giving them attention, and focus on the team and that’s it.
Recruiting is nothing but immature nonsense these days. There was a time when players were serious about it but that’s long gone. Most of These modern families and players are not worth the time or energy spent following them around and I don’t know why anyone would do it (unless you’re like G**zo and really really get self worth out of sucking up to guys who wouldn’t drain your bathtub while you’re drowning
