Franklin and Stewart play the same position.... maybe AF doesn’t want to deal with competition... 🤷‍♂️

I think Franklin is gone tbh. 

If he is then I think Stewart will step in and take his place.  Also I think Coach Woodson want to have more size on the wings with 6'6-6'8 guys and doubt if he would want to go with a 3 guard lineup.

I get why AF would consider another school. He spent the shut down improving his game in a big way. IU did not improve as a team and if reports are true that we told a recruit we might get Stevens then I am sure the players heard as well. When that does not materialize and you have all these teams that had proven success this year I get why you would consider leaving for that. As much as I like what Woodson has said he is unproven and it might take a year or two to get his system in place.

I think if we landed some high end talent that would make AF want to stay vs running from competition

Not saying those guys won’t go pro but according to Givony on ESPN the only one getting drafted in either round is TJD. Ayo and Kofi aren’t even projected. So unless they hire agents they could come back. I haven’t heard if they’re hiring agents. 

NBAdraft.net has Ayo going 22nd and Cockburn 52nd. No chance Ayo doesn't go and I'll be surprised Cockburn stays either.

Yep I looked at an old one. Most updated on ESPN has Ayo as 22nd prospect, TJD at 81 and Cockburn not even in the top 100

but I could see Franklin being intrigued on taking on that role. Similar style player as Ayo.

I think geronimo would thrive at seton hall tbh

[madmax]

Really don’t wanna lose Franklin or Geronimo. I really think the nucleus we had last year + Stewart and a healthy Brunk should easily be a tournament team. No reason it shouldn’t especially if everyone buys what CMW is selling.

I don't follow the NBA or the people who project the draft, but I have hard time believing Ayo is not drafted

 

Edit- I saw your correction

Ayo is a first rounder on nearly every mock draft.

If we lost Geronimo and Franklin but gained Adam Miller and say Swider or Gurley...I would count it as a net gain honestly

I really hope that did not happen as it would be staggeringly stupid, especially since there was an attempt to keep everything quiet.

is Illinois minus Ayo and Cockburn really better next year than IU with a junior Trayce, junior Franklin, and Coach Woodson? I don't know who Illinois is bringing in next year, though, so maybe they're replacing those two with studs. I honestly wasn't that impressed with Illinois last year when we played them. We were right there with them in both games, even going to overtime in one of them. 

IL got spanked by Loyola

I agree. The “difference makers” in the portal will each have 15-20+ schools after them. Do we get a stud or two or have to resort to scraps....to be determined.  
I’m a little more nervous than some as the thought of only having Leal and Stewart (if Franklin, Lander and Rob leave) as our returning backcourt is scary to me.

Lol what recruit did we tell abt stevens?

This year was tops for U of I.  Loosing key players and going down.   IU is on the upward trajectory.  We all know the primary reason we sucked was Archie.  Hell even with the Archie stand around and suck offense, if we just hit a few more free throws we win several more games.  Arman would be foolish to leave.
