Kofi and the Illini

[MattMang23]

Have you read any of the 'pay college players money' threads? The overwhelming majority are all for it. Your interpretation on '$' isn't born out in the the opinions of the majority of the board, as shown in these threads. Note it's 'Illinioi$'....not Ko$i Cockburn.

Considering I’m the one who started the thread after the NCAA announcement and my OP in it was all of two words: “about time,” I thank you for letting this gentleman know my actual position.

Arizona pummels Illinois 90-69. Kofi with 9pts and 7reb.

Kofi is a physical force, but he didn't have a real big impact on the game. UA's Fr. big Zeke Nnaji is much more skilled, although nowhere near the size. Illinois hung tough for a while, back and forth game, then UA went on a big run about midway thru 2nd half and there was no response after that. It was mostly Illini guards/wings keeping them in the game w/ 3s and slashing to the hoop.

I can't get over just how physically large Kofi is. Unusual for a Fr. true 7 footer to be that developed (although he is 20).

Meanwhile Javonte Brown Ferguson just turned 17. Wonder what he'll look like in 3 years time.

Speaking of recruiting misses, Qudus Wahab is doing OK as backup center at Georgetown, 3-3 from the floor and 8 rebounds in the first two games.
