Kofi Announcing Tomorrow

[KingAG]

There still time

 

[CardiacAndre7]

But Illinois is better?

Not saying that by any means.

 

[Ewekon]

Props to Antigua? I say props to a system that looks the other way. This is why I don't get upset about losing any recruit. Its a rigged system. I. have no idea if UConn runs a clean program.(I have my opinion) I do know there is nothing clean about Kofi to Illinois.

How do you know?

Just for clarification kicks and giggles.

 

[djct1999]

OK Mr. Cryptic. For whom is the grind still grinding? No gag order.

There is nothing cryptic about this. Its straight up Chief. If somehow we got Kofi, its because the staff continued to grind. If we lose out on him, the staff has to continue to grind to find a frontcourt. Either way, Chief told us so.

 

[HawkHusky]

Still no winky faces...

 

[djct1999]

How do you know?

Just for clarification kicks and giggles.

For one, just look at our federal judicial system to see what is taking place all across the college game. Then read an article from earlier in the week where its clear as hell someone in Kofi's camp had incentive to push him towards Illinois. Finally, lets just say I know someone well who knows about Orlando Antigua.

 

[uchusky32]

Still no winky faces...

No. But no "next" nor "confirmed" nor "grain of salt". We did get a "grind" but that goes both ways.

 

[UconnU]

We were known for guards and wings like Ray Allen and Rip Hamilton in the 1990s, for bigs from Okafor onward in the early 2000s, then Kemba and Shabazz revived the guard focus. There's no reason to think Hurley can't coach bigs or develop them, or will refuse to run offense through them.

I know the history. These kids know us for Kemba Walker, Perception is important.

No denying his physical attributes and raw talent but I don't like guys who's choose to go to weak programs for their one year. That's just a lack of drive and competitiveness. Ik that sounds cliche but it hasn't really failed yet

Cockburn is at least a 2 year player imo.

 

[AdamaNation]

Yeah they really know how to develop players there, and must be sending a ton of players to the NBA.

It was a sarcastic dig T what our record could resemble by years end.

 

[smoothcriminal]

seems like kofi’s guardian made the decision for him on this. Nothing kofi has said over the past year would have pointed to Illinois

 

[yukonfan4]

Cockburn is at least a 2 year player imo.

since he's not a rim protector, and can't switch on PnRs, he's gonna have to start hitting from nba 3 pt range if he wants to get drafted. if you can't do any of those three things as a big man in the nba you're a liability

 

[Towney007]

I had a feeling the whole time.

 

[AllAbout5]

I have a feeling he’s going to commit to Illinois, but I’m hoping he thinks about which college a little more.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Did he commit to Illinois yet?

 

[Caronimo]

His loss if he commits to Illinois, not ours. Hurley and staff will find someone else and succeed.

Thank you. Article linky?

 

[yukonfan4]

i'm starting to think it's gonna be a "final 4" school announcement. where's the rush in committing to illinois? he'd love to milk this till april. hasn't he posted something every time he's eliminated a school from his list?

 

[Caronimo]

Just scoped then Illinois board. They seem like a normal fan base. Can’t say the same about us. Boneyard is for crazies.

I hope this becomes a trend, instead of just picking a school kids should eliminate schools one by one. “I will NOT be attending the university of Pittsburgh”.

 

[NowInStorrs]

It can become a reality show where they kick one school off the recruitment island each week. University of Pittsburgh, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. You're fired/chopped/eliminated/whatever.

Oh wait. We've got a save! My handler has saved Pittsburgh. They will survive for at least another week.

The staff that you love to criticize has reeled in 3 top notch recruits since the dam break. They deserve much more recruiting respect than you are giving them. That doesn’t mean they get every targeted recruit as some casual fans seem to demand but their grind has already paid off and it will further.

 

[Stainmaster]

Nobody disputes that the staff is "grinding" -- just that Chief plays any role in said "grind."

Go back and read my posts. I have been defending this staff not criticizing them.

Chief red herrings himself to rationalize his arguments. His commitment to the grind is 4-D and we're living in a 2-D grind world

 

[Devland]

And Illinois is known for what exactly?

Hugh Hefner went to Illinois.

No disrespect, but what does your statement even mean in plain English?

Chief is playing (4D) chess while we are all playing checkers

 

[Dove]

How the hell do you take a visit to a school like Illinois and say DAMN that's the place for me in days?

He hasn't.

 

[CL82]

Um, did he say that he did?

 

[Dove]

Sometimes, Chief, postin' ain't easy.
