Illinois' Kofi Cockburn will miss the first three games of the 2021-22 regular season, per release. This an an NCAA suspension required as part of the reinstatement process triggered because Cockburn sold institutionally issued apparel and memorabilia in June. This means that Kofi Cockburn will be suspended when Illinois visits Marquette on 11/15 as part of the Gavitt Games.

Fully understand. We know Crean could fall in love with a player because of the way he combed his hair. Really not sure what attracted Archie to given players but with the staff we currently have I believe there's a clear road map and if they want Cupps that's enough to satisfy me until it proves otherwise.

Saying we lost a particular recruit because school 'x' dropped $$ without any concrete evidence smacks of sour grapes to me. Easy way out to say it was all due to money when there are so many other factors involved. Never going to land every recruit we target. If Noah does indeed select Alabama I'll wish him nothing but the best. Great kid with a great family. Some of you.........!

I like how you type!

I'm convinced the staff has a Plan B. No idea on any names, but I don't see this staff being left with their jaws hanging and no idea of what they're going to do next.

Paulina Paris commited to North Carolina. Staff worked hard just couldn't seal the deal.

Mrs. OF and I getting ready to go trick or treating or as I like to call it drink or stink.

Maybe a little positive information to take your minds off another football loss. Pretty easy to have a relatively good idea of the caliber of competiton a recruiting target faces based on the size of his school. Certainly far from perfect but a 1A or 2A school in Indiana is not going to consistely face the caliber of competiton a 4A school will. Likewise for schools in other states with a similar type of classification system we can make reasonably sound assumptions. We know kids going to the Montverde's, IMG's, La Lu's are facing high level competiton virtually every game they play. Because we know virtually nothing about the quality of Finnish basketball, a couple of posters have raised the question about the level of Miro's competition. So with a little luck, I've been able to contact an individual with excellent insight into Finnish basketball and this is what he shared with me. First of all, Miro is not competing against high school kids his own age. He is competing against men. He plays in the Finnish second division a step below its professional league. He's playing against men who played major college ball in the U.S. as well as men who've played pro ball. Remember Freddie McSwain tweeted about having played against Miro. So as I post his game stats as his season progresses, keep in mind he's not playing your typical high school basketball as we think of it. 5 games into his current season he's averaging 22 ppg on 60% FG; 41% on 3s; 9 rpg and 7.8 apg. With those kinds of numbers, I'll overlook his TOs and would be ecstatic to see him in an IU uniform.
