Kofi announcing Friday
- Thread starter Cats192
- Start date
Not sure he’s coming to UK if he doesn’t visit before announcing.
Sounds like the type of source one would want to quote in a thread where everyone else is optimistic.
Thanks for that. You're one of my favorites...
So many things have happened since then so my memory might be off, but weren't Illinois insiders pretty much swearing Antigua and Coleman were returning to Illinois?
Wasn't Illinois sure their coaches were staying too while we were getting little winks and nods for weeks in advance?
This feels a lot like that.
I mean, our biggest radio show by miles had one of the hosts and founders telling us a player broke his damn leg yesterday. So I'll take what radio insider guy says with a grain of salt.

I'd like to announce on social media that I'll be returning to the same job I've worked at for the last few years.
Because that makes lots of sense, too.

@TheAnonymous13 thought UK a week ago. Still think the same? Know you always have solid info…
Hmmm would seem strange to set an announcement date then go back to the school you’re at. But also I can see him having some corny post about how he started it there and is loyal.
Probably the same guy that said they were keeping Antigua and Coleman.
History of Illinois insiders:
- Liggins to Illinois
- Illini lead for Darius Miller
- Davis getting paid $200,000 by UK
- Chin and Antigua returning
- Kofi returning
Good track record.

They just released all the players jersey numbers for next year on twitter. If he was coming, they would’ve waited.
I just don't think seeing the campus changes anything in his mind.
He says he went to Illinois because of Coach O. Coach O left.
He wants to improve his NBA chances. No one does that like UK.
I assume he knew what he was going to do all along and wasn't super worried. Some others have pointed out they had a zoom meeting and I'm sure they showed him a lot of the facilities.
Read my previous post on that if you have a chance.
there’s a 0% chance those things are connected.
I'm assuming the kid that runs the UK Twitter was asked to Tweet it out a few days ago.
I highly doubt anyone was going to say "Hold up, we may be getting someone else and we don't want to have to send another tweet with his number."
Cockburn did visit Kentucky right out of high school IIRC. Or at the very least he set up a visit, whether he actually made it to campus I don't know. But I definitely remember hearing that he was going to visit Lexington when we were recruiting him the first time.
Is the rumor true that he had a virtual meeting with the whole UK staff last night?
I’m just sharing what was on the radio here in a major Illinois market. I offered no opinion on it as I have to clue. But, you keep doing you
Not visiting UK means absolutely nothing at this stage. My man doesn’t care what the campus looks like.
The main reason to visit is to see if you vibe with the team and staff.
He already knows he’s good there.

I think the only logical option is UK. There’s no reason to open it up and decide so quickly. I think it’s always been UK once O and Chin left.
Kofi wants to be a pro, the NIL is more favorable at UK, there’s a good chance of winning here, the reason he went to illinois is at UK, and playing at UK is better for future prospects all around.
It’s just an easy decision. If cal can’t lock this one up and continues to lose recruits to Memphis I’m not sure what to think at this point.

From an NIL perspective, UK>>>>>Illinois
From a national exposure perspective, UK>>>Illinois
Coaching perspective (he loves Antigua and Chin) UK>>>>Illinois
NBA preparedness UK>>>>>>Illinois
Playing time UK<Illinois
Four to one. I like our odds.

I'm normally like that, too. On this one, though, I think it's been done for awhile. Antigua is the draw. Or so it sounds.
can anyone share anything on the HOB scoop?
I hope like hell they all gel and we field a dominant team. On paper, with Kofi, it sure looks better.
Illinois feeling confident makes me feel a lot better.
Can’t believe people would worry about this. Has nothing to do with it.

Is it the same expert that said Coleman was staying at Illinois?
I also think Illinois is unranked in the preseason, while UK is top 15 in most polls.
That should weigh in his decision as well.
Well, if Mr. Possumtrot says this, I feel even better he's picking UK.
