thread title aged like milk

for real though this is massive for Illinois. goes without saying

I'm assuming they matched Kentucky's offer. Smart move by Kofi.

Just needs another "not" edited in.

Who thought he was returning? He obviously wasn’t going back…

You really nailed it!

 

[BGesus4]

Gotta respect how he negotiates

 

[Umami Zen]

Boosters/donors want him for another year!! NIL revenues are huge for Kofi..

 

[#1 PA Husky Fan]

He got a pay raise to stay!

This makes me wonder if guys who are on the fence about going to the NBA will have more incentive to come back with the new NIL rules. Will this lead to a trend of fence guys coming back?

Probably means Jalen Duren is reclassifying to 2021 for Kentucky, as rumored. First world problems for Kentucky....

Rumor has it Duren is a Miami lean. Slater eluded to it earlier. I think UK roster is pretty set

You really nailed it!

I really didn’t but thanks though!

Im working out in Peoria Illinois and some people actually believe they are title contenders with Kofi returning

Must be a really nice gym to travel that far.

I don't think that's a crazy statement, they're a consensus top 10 team going into next year. Losing Dosunmo and Adam Miller will hurt but they have a strong recruiting class coming in and Curbelo to step right in at PG

Must be a really nice gym to travel that far.

4 tennis courts at one school and 6 at another. It's a special overlay system that is crack resistant, very high end and pricey. Im one of the only installers in world that travels/ set up to travel to install these systems.

I've been home for 4 weeks since mid April. 3 weeks in Bahamas on private island, then Virginia for week and been in Illinois (started in Northbrook north of Chicago now in Peoria) since june 20th leave to go to eureka, mo on Monday for week

This year is crazy in the industry. Anyone who has availability to do anything is someone you should avoid. All the legitimate contractors are booked to 2022

With the roster and coaching turnover I'm skeptical

If he returns they will be OK this season but gone are the three 2022 recruits tied into Antigua and Chen
It makes no difference - 2020-2021 was their year and they couldn't do it
It will be interesting - kind of surprised he didn't go to UK
