Kofi Cockburn - C - Oak Hill Academy - ILLINOIS

May not get Kofi but will have a legit shot with other 4/5 stars if we keep winning a lot this year which is a welcome change around here.

I remain an optimist until the bottom falls out—-like it usually does.

Per espn - has committed to Illinois. 

Hahaha Illinois.

Uh, ok

Just pay these kids already

We don't need him.

When he’s ready to transfer home, we’ll be ready.

Hahaha Illinois.

Are you suggesting that a school well known for not paying players is suddenly paying players?

We don't need him.

What makes you say that?

Maybe modern day but under Lou Henson they got put on probation for just that.

Antingua earning his keep, home run hire for Brad Underwood, who's up against it (18-29) in Champaign.

No surprise here as we just landed two bigs but a HS potential 5 would have been nice.   

Pretty sure he committed to the worst team in the Big 10 for academic reasons.

Does seem strange for him tp choose Illinois but FWIW was told by a former college coach that the Illini head coach Brad Underwood is a good one who got there last year from S.F. Austin where he did a great job.

Underwood coached at Oklahoma St for a year after Austin and is 18-29 at Illinois and Illinois hasn't had a player make the NBA since Dee Brown 15 years ago. I $u$pect this was not a basketball decision.

Antingua was coach Cals bag man for years. That's what he does.

That’s not accurate. Dee Brown is not the last Illini player to make the NBA.

Eric Gordon choosing Indiana cost Bruce Weber his job. Biggest mistake they’ve made in a long time.

It’s a Big Ten school. Big Ten schools get elite players. Even the poor teams do.

YUP--Illini got that stud Adonis De La Rosa!  Maybe Kofi want s to follow him (he'll have to look better by comparison). 

That’s not accurate. Dee Brown is not the last Illini player to make the NBA.

Second to last then. The point remains.
