Let’s see if anything happens tomorrow, as they expect

 

Nothing about Franklin on their free 247 page, they’ve been talking about Omar Payne and Giorgio rumors

 

One of them is now getting called out for a troll

[HoosierHoopster]

Easter Sunday would be even nicer with a re-commit!

[Hoosierfan222]

Anyone hearing any rumors in regards to Franklin? Haven't heard anything after his supposed meeting with Illinois yesterday. Would hate to lose him. TJD being fully committed to Woodson has to help a bit, right?

Didn't Race meet with Minnesota yesterday too?  Thought I saw that somewhere.

I think Race is supposed to meet with Minnesota via Zoom tomorrow.

Franklin met with ND and UL yesterday too.

Illinois fans think it’s a done deal on IllinoisLoyalty for Franklin coming to UI

Tells me Race is probably gone considering Woodson was apparently wanting answers on Monday about where guys are leaning on staying/leaving

[Hoosierfan1901]

If none of them decide by Tuesday/Wednesday, I’m guessing they are gone

If that’s the case we really need Xavier Johnson

Problem is, that’s the only page that’s taking about him. There is nothing on their free 247 page and there has been no confirmation of him meeting with Illinois. And there hasn’t been a mentioned of him and Illinois in the last 24 hours on Twitter too. Also, on the IllinoisLoyalty page, one of their so called insiders was being called out as a troll.

[Hoosierfan1901]

I don’t know why he would go to Illinois out of all places, I’m guessing to become the next Ayo there 

[Stuhoo]

I think by Tuesday morning we'll have a much better idea of where we stand on a few issues: Coach Lewis, then Armaan and Race, and after they decide potential portal replacements, whether those be XJohnson, Keion, or others we hadn't really considered.

If Race moves on and Keion goes into the portal soon thereafter? That'd be a pretty strong sign.    ;)

I’ll keep finding more stuff on Franklin

[Five Prime]

I don't get why Franklin would transfer.  It's gonna be a restart for him regardless.  He's going to have a central role on this IU team next year if he stays.

Where? I just went through that thread and one guy posted it and the rest dogged on him because he had 13 posts in 10 yrs as a member.  They talked about the possibility, but I saw absolutely no done deal talk. 
 

sounds like as much of a done deal as Brad Steven’s to IU was.

Not that he will, but Cureblo is a good partner, and Ayo’s role is a great role.

I just interpreted it that it was a done deal by the hunter given by the Illinois Louisville guy

If im being honest id love to get the pitt and VT guards

And the guy who likely would have filled Ayo's role -- Adam Miller -- entered the transfer portal.  Started all 31 games as a freshman for Illinois.  Averaged 8.3 points last season at Illinois.  That transfer was a strange one as it did look like with Ayo gone he would be a focus of the offense.  Also sounds like he entered the portal with no intention of even considering staying at Illinois -- Underwood's released statement pretty much seemed like a farewell, that he "has a very bright future ahead, and we wish him all the best".
