I don't think he really has a decision.....I'm not seeing him even appear in many mocks.  Doesn't fit today's NBA in the slightest.

Bad news for other B1G teams as Kofi almost single handily keeps Illinois near the top.

True, and as much as hate to admit it, I actually like him and his demeanor.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but I'm gonna ask anyway: 

Do we figure we'll see/hear something from X, Kopp and Geronimo regarding their status for next season? Or at this point, do we just figure they're staying put (X's legal issue nothwithstanding)? 

I'm sort of assuming Bates, Leal, Galloway and Duncomb will be back ... The others, though, seemed maybe a bit unsettled (though I can't imagine Kopp would go to a third school in three years).

We’ve pretty heard Kopp is coming back.  If I were him, I wouldn’t be tweeting it as I think there are some tweetheads that would be brutal to him.

I think it is a pretty sad state for college basketball if guys have to announce they staying at their current school.

I’m guessing if we hear from any of them it will be JG. Just because I think he’s thinking about it. The other two aren’t even considering it. I think JG knows Seton Hall, UCONN and Providence all are really interested.

Man I hope he stays. Development from an NBA coach and I know those other universities and we’re better academically and socially than those other schools. I was an out of state kid and went to IU. Leaving family is only momentary. However to each their own.

How would he know that if he isn’t in the portal? It’s not legal to poach kids/reach out to players not in the portal

Someone from those programs reach out to his family members and say if JG goes into the portal we’re interested. Not illegal but just that gray area.

Well Kopp and Stewart combined for 50 points at Syracuse so I doubt Galloway would have gotten huge minutes in that game.

Both overtimes and end of regulation had Lander playing...

Should be illegal.

But I do think whether a player uses his extra Covid year is something that shouldn’t be assumed….that would apply to Kopp and X.

And he hit a huge shot to be fair.

I reached out to a friend who is a huge Illinois fan and he said things are pretty hush hush.

Yep. I figure if we hear nothing, they are staying. They don't need to announce it if they don't want to.

He somehow has convinced himself TG isn't any good.
