Announcement tomorrow.

I'm excited either way - with Kofi we will be better, but I'll be just as excited for a new look if he leaves and won't blame him.

Definitely rather he stay, but understand if he doesn’t. Instant contender again if he stays.

Kofi will break Deon’s career scoring record and Augustine’s career rebounding record if he just duplicates last season’s numbers. Would probably go down as the greatest Illini career and player of all time if he does.

A way to create an NIL bidding war, no?

I would think it would take some time to establish the basis for a large NIL payout. Not just walk out in mid to late April to a huge payday. Plus he has a legacy here if he wants it. But what do I know?

Frankly I’m more than ok with him leaving so we can build a modern basketball team.

Kinda what I was thinking - he's built a brand here already, why go elsewhere and start over (to some degree)? 

Would love to see him murder some more basketball rims wearing the orange n blue, but I don't think it would be the end of the world if he went elsewhere.

Agreed. I would love for him to come back but if not I’m good.

If rumors are true, and he was to choose a place like Michigan State or go elsewhere, he will really ruin any type of goodwill or legacy here in the fans eyes. Total disregard for anything other than money and that’s just a really shitty/sleazy thing to make the ultimate decision on. If that’s all we were here was a paycheck then he can go fuck himself if that’s the case. Why should we be loyal to him if he isn’t to us and just leaves for that. What he’s make here is very substantial and this fan base loves him. That’s gotta count for something right?! Right?!

I would think being able to rewrite the school record books at a top 20 historic basketball program while getting paid handsomely to do so would be pretty tough to turn down. Just doesn’t seem to make sense to enter the portal. Unless like PAMan said they’re just trying to extort a little more cash at the final hour.

It also would be kind of weird to announce a decision and for the decision to be a transfer. And would also be kind of weird to hype a decision announcement only to say he’s declaring again. Only thing that makes sense is returning and creating some buzz.

I, unfortunately, think you are both being a little naive/sentimental here. With NIL it is all about the Benjamins for guys, like Kofi, who can get them. $$$ > Legacy. (For example, what's legacy gotten Dee Brown at this point?) I don't think I'm being overly cynical. It's just business.

Why would a Jamaican really care about being either a 3-year all-time great or a 4-year all-time great?

If he comes back, great - we're conference title contenders. If he leaves, we can build with what we have. Nightmare is he goes to a rival. Wouldn't hold it against him if he went pro or to a top nat'l title contender that isn't in the B1G.
