Kofi Illinois visit

[ucawn]

Oh boy. It’s over

I don’t know man, I’m going to wait till he says it’s over. Before this visit Uconn was seen as the favorite. I don’t know how this visit could’ve swayed him so much.

I'm sure his parents will be stoked for that big Illinois/Rutgers game every year or 2.

Every parents dream to watch thier child get blown out by every team in the big 10

Or the uconn/Ecu game. U know, glass houses and all.

Posting the hotel room shot with the tagline, "bored", sure doesn't fit with the Illinois prediction. Unless he's bored by the process and can't wait to get there...................doomed.

I heard Illini smoke before visit, but none of this scares me at all. Nothing definitive, update less optimistic than first is red flag for them, and all stuff you'd tell someone to be nice. Handler gave green light, but that's not necessarily unique or a high bar. He left without commitment.

Feeling fine.

Yea. Every time a prospect takes an official there’s a whole bunch of hoopla about that prospect and the school. Afterwards everyone talks about how well it went and a few “prognosticators” pick that school as the landing spot. There’s nothing out of the ordinary here.

I'm guessing he visits Pitt before making a decision. Will be disappointed if he picks them over us, but still think we have more to offer him.

Apparently, his boredom wasn't confined to the hotel room . . .

This. Illinois needed to come out with a commitment. Other than that, this noise is nothing more than the handler preserving his relationship or earning his keep with Orlando Antigua. I would be shocked if he ends up there.

Is that Chief...or Chief's's mom behind Kofi?

Hey Kofi, come play for a team that will lose 18-20 games this year, currently has the 91st rated class (just edging out Penn), for a coach that might not be there next year.

It has been a minute since I have seen this much artificial smoke from a visit.

Like I have said, can never count OA out, but hard for me to believe that there is a real shot at them landing Kofi.

Someone should ask Orlando what Oliver is up to these days.

Yes would for sure be fishy if he chooses them, and there would probably be some $ involved.

Doesn't matter what Josh does, he's never going to look like Enoch or Oriakhi.

Total agreement there. Was merely saying it's not even an apples to apples comp in a vacuum.

Josh has the frame for some muscle though. What he really could have used, above all else, was a freshman redshirt year...to add footwork, skills, strength and quickness. UCONN probably wasn't the right place for him at the time in that respect.

Or he is wrong.....I trust our insiders. Kofi going to Illinois would be beyond weird

Illinois insiders vs UCONN insiders. Grudge match. To the death

C'mon matrim....bfield....kill those dudes.

There are reasons for Kofi to chose any of the schools on his list and he likely already knows where he is going. It is the fans who hang on every word or action but don't have a clue about where he is going.

 

[ToolzieFan]

In general, it's probably a bad idea to read and analyze every interview or social media post of a high schooler who is about to make the biggest decision of his life, yet here I am, in the Boneyard almost daily.

 

[Caronimo]

Honestly these threads are a waste of time. Nobody knows anything until these kids officially commit.

 

[djct1999]

So there are reports saying the contrary.......hmmm,

Lol anytime you gotta tweet this...

After listening to this, sounds like Illinois basketball is currently a dumpster fire battling with Rutgers for worst team in the conference
