Oh boy. Yeah if he comes back and it’s not here, college basketball sucks. There is no loyalty and it’s just shitty. Players are like “buy my gear in the NIL store” and I’m like “why?!” So you can go play for our biggest rival next year?! I’m not buying that shit. It dumb as fuck.

If he was a grad transfer, which B1G would be the bigger kick in the balls? Or would Kansas be the bigger kick in the balls? Self has to have texted him, right? What would it hurt?

How quickly we turn.....

I’m not taking about him per se, just in general. How are fans supposed to be loyal to a player and buy their stuff when they bail?

I do think if he pulls out (no not that kind) of the draft, he’ll be back here fwiw.

Yeah, but if he grad transfers elsewhere in the B1G, which would be the biggest kick in the balls?

Michigan? Wisconsin?

“Illini nation,” Hawkins began on X. “My intention is 100% to stay in the [NBA] Draft and I am fully focused on that process. I wanted to make sure I take every opportunity to protect myself in case of injury or any unforeseen circumstances down the road.”

“With the recent NCAA rule change regarding grad transfers, and the May 1st deadline approaching, entering the portal gives me the best chance to protect myself in those instances and maximize my opportunities as I go through the pre-draft process,” Hawkins added.

Maybe he wants to find a program that doesn't give up 30-0 runs in The Tournament?

1st Who knows if Self even likes him as a player?
2nd CoHawk has a base here, grew here, IF he comes back, then pretty weird to go to another college for 1 year and possibly NOT have the clout.
3rd even if injured if he test out well, NO WAY he is worse than last year predictions for draft projections.
4th The ONLY way he comes back here imo or any college is if there is another inside type so that he doesn't get stuck there in a truly MAKE or BREAK it season.
5th It would allow us to stay OLD....like 2001 old.
6th The Super Soaker rematch is already scheduled and CoHawk wants his revenge on Coach???
7th CoHawk wants to explode without TSJ/Domasketball and the other transfers that left, he will be the BMOC by himself though!

51st in the latest rostercast...

https://barttorvik.com/rostercast.php?run=1&team=Illinois&player=Ben%20Humrichous%3BEvansville

Starting 5 as of today seems to be Morez Johnson, Humrichous, Ty Rodgers, Tre White and Boswell.   

Need more size at center and scoring from a wing or combo guard...

The big time programs and coaches have reeled in top some transfers over the past few days.

Johnell Davis and Jonas Aidoo will join Calipari in Arkansas.

Aidan Mahaney to UConn.

Brandon Garrison and Otega Oweh to UK.

Also, looks like David Jones is staying at Memphis and Kalkbrenner will return to Creighton.

Antigua needs to work some magic.

5 Player may be coming from overseas, at this point, Cisse would be an awesome get at this point as well.

Another wing to consider is Jaylen Wells, good shooter, can create, good size.

Would not be surprised to see us land some of the following:

Anselem-Ibe

Fletcher

Cook

Gray

Cisse

All have one thing in common, ALL are seniors. The staff so far has built for multiple years and will add some stabilizing SR to help steer the ship and get some younger guys some B1G experience to go with DGL/Rodgers etc. Then Fears comes in, Morez has a year under his belt and the transfers IF we keep them this year makes us quite the team for 1-3 years more.

Have a lot of work to do. Agree we need two significant impact players. Thankfully we have time and OA now.
