I just want to give him one last chance to bow to what the loyalty "insider" type is saying and stop pretending he knows shit when he doesn't.

I took a quick look at Loyalty - that board's a nightmare to look at - and saw one of their "insiders" (is that BReal?) claims Shannon is going to announce tomorrow that he's staying at Illinois.

So I wanted to come here and give the One True Insider a chance.  Dom, you want to welch out of the bet, or are you bullish on "the loyalty guys don't know shit and I know he's not coming back"?  Thought it'd be fun to give you a chance to get out before you get banned.

The Loyalty people know nothing. I do.

You have 1 day left.  Then you’re gone.  Forever.

Again, these idiots said TSJ was announcing he was coming back 2 weekends ago. Didn’t happen.

They said Dennis was a lock and he visited 3 other places and never came back.

They say IL is getting every recruit and then claim recruiting is fluid.

You believing an idiot like BrooksTaylorFan over me.  Well let this be a learning opportunity for you Sparky.

Next time, when you want actual IL recruiting info, just read here.  You won’t be able to post. But you can still read.  I’ll still be posting my takes.

Until then, go drink some Bud Light. Go be that old nerdy white guy that walks in BLM parades.  Go indulge in some some white guilting.

I’ll be happy here.  I’ll bump your funeral thread on Thursday.  Promises Made.  Promises kept.  When I put my word to it, it’s done.

Beautiful, this is exactly what I was hoping you'd say.

Enjoy your last 18ish hours bud.

I hadn't been to loyalty for a few years until just now.  I might have another source of information though.

You can go cry on the Scout board about this place having no rules.

Bottomline is I can call you a faggot cancer on here and it’s 100% true.

That cancer is gone tomorrow.

LKDog is next. But with him, he’s going to cut n run. Don’t ever need to bet him.  He’ll quit on his own bc he’s a front runner.  Illinois going to be so bad he won’t post.

Next year is gonna be a celebration on here.  It’s going to be me gloating about always being right and celebrating Underwood’s last year as coach

Sparky’s wet bc Derek Piper said Shannon was a 7 on coming back.

Here’s what’s gonna happen:

**Shannon will go to the NBA.  Why? Bc he’s a top 45 pick. And 5th year players don’t gain anything from staying in college. But insiders will say “well he told the staff he was coming back, we made him a great offer” - just regular nonsense. Listen to me. I’m right.  They are wrong.  The end.

**Hawkins will also go to the NBA. Why? Bc he hates college. And he’s worked out for a ton of NBA teams.  And Guerrier coming confirmed he was gone  Insiders will give him the Kofi treatment.  Saying he made a bad decision.

**Dennis will go to Baylor.  Why? Bc he’s visited there twice.

3/3 and really easy logical predictions

I'll take your word Piper said that, no clue what he's been saying.

Please fucking tell me you pay for Scout premium, that'd be hysterical.

I did at least 2 times, maybe 3....2024 draft class makes much more sense for both Hawkins and Shannon, regardless of age. They will move up barring a season lost for some reason.

I don’t pay for anything.  He said it on his radio show. BrooksTaylorFan takes it verbatim.

All these people are doing is selling hope to the gullible.  Then they will lie when it turns out untrue by saying he told the staff he was coming back.

Use your head.  These things are easy to figure out

Why don’t you list how many 5th year seniors have been drafted on the 1st round oh say the last 10 years?

Makes zero sense for either to come back even Hawkins. Hawkins can look at Dawson Garcia as a guy that tanked his draft value by staying in school

Hawkins has no draft value to speak of. He should stay in school, get a bachelor's degree, earn NIL money, and see if he can improve his skills and athletic numbers. 

Shannon has exceptional speed and quickness. All his other measurables are average to subpar. He might improve his vertical with another year in college. He is not going to get longer arms or bigger hands. He has probably maxed out his ball skills.

It comes down to money. The certain value of NIL money and continuing his education versus gambling on the draft.

Only the 30 first round draft picks get guaranteed money.  The next ten likely  get at least a year guaranteed. Shannon was looking for two teams to promise they would draft him and give him guarantees.


Shannon got his feedback. No leaks. He will announce mañana.

If Baylor's PG stays in the draft, RayJ might have a decision to make. Or not.
