Looks like the remaining questions are:

1) If Kofi gives clear indication soon that he is gone do they pursue a Robbins or a Mitchell heavily?

Apparently, Kofi is testing the NBA waters but leaving a possible return open.

Smart. I gotta think he'll be back if he actually listens to the feedback though.

I guess it depends on where/how to best develop the skills he needs to stick on an NBA roster.

Hope for the best for him no matter what route he chooses.

Well I must admit, I stand corrected. At least some of these kids have the balls to come back and fix this Loyola dog pile.

Only question remains is Kofi. If Kofi doesn’t come back should be fine. 2005 team had James Augustine manning the center and went 37-2. More than enough speed/athleticism and people that actually want to be here to compete next season. Color me surprised and one last thing. Yes, Fukk Adam Miller.

I put Adam Miller right up there with Jereme Richmond and Eric Gordon. Already done hit the portal. Bon voyage.

I would view Miller more like Kendrick Nunn. Thanks for the memories but what the fuck.

Nunn was a lot better here and starts in the NBA which is one helluva accomplishment.
Seems to be trying to do some positive things off the court these days. Surprised me.

I am not convinced Miller ever even makes an NBA roster.
Pretty one dimensional so far and not a plus athlete or ball skills.
But who knows.

Kofi declared for the draft yesterday, but Illini hoops site doesn't mention whether he is leaving his options open.

Miller is what, 6-2 in shoes with a 6'3 wingspan? Nunn was measured 6-2 1/2 In socks with a 6-7 wingspan.

It sounds like he has option to withdraw.

Kendrick had incredible quicks and is more of an all around athlete.

TY. Did you write the 'expert take' ?
JK.
Whatever Kofi decides, I hope it works out best for him but the staff needs to use Kofi's rise from a soccer player to a possible NBA pick in 5 years. Take Kofi's willingness to work and learn as a recruiting tool.

Kofi’s development was one of the main reasons Jobu Payne wanted to come here.
