Title: Kofi Decision
Post by: ILLINICHIEF on July 14, 2021, 10:06:28 AM
Where does Kofi decide to make All-American again at?

My vote will be the ILLINI, because outside of OA, I think it just makes more sense.

There’s almost nothing to suggest he’s going to Kentucky

Kid and his people sure like the drama

UK trash talkers think Kofi is theirs. Actual insiders seem ambivalent.

Does the new hire help? TA is good at developing NBA players. Is it all about NIL $$$?

Sounds like he’s coming back

If true, and they use him a little differently and expand his game to actually pass the ball, run the floor more, and work from elbow a little bit, we should be very good.
Last year he was Wreck it Ralph. We have better full time PG and shooters this year.

I'm ok with another year of Wreck It Ralph.

On Kofi:

Interesting watching UK fans transition from he's ours to he is not a good fit and we never really wanted him.

Their insiders were always ambivalent.

Our insiders seem cautiously optimistic. FSU is either a red herring or ???

I am cautiously optimistic about Kofi, due to the Kentucky buzz dying down.

The poll question was poorly phrased.

Where does he end up in at around? would get closer to the point.

Excellent news. After a very rocky beginning to the off-season, it appears Underwood has steadied the ship with two solid guard commits, and Kofi returning.

Let’s see how Kofi looks throwing up 17 foot jumpers lol

If he could develop that, he would be very dangerous.

Glad he is back, but I doubt that is going to happen, or we want to see him try to learn.
Maybe in blowouts be can try some. Lol.
What Liddell did at OSU last year was pretty rare.

I hope they teach him to pass and improve
his defense in space.
Would help us be very good and help him maybe catch on in league somewhere.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand we will win a lot of games and be in the national spotlight next season. On the other hand we won’t be able to move on from a style of basketball that doesn’t win championships unless Brad is willing to sit Kofi when we need a more modern lineup.

Our newest assistant's current job is preparing college players for the NBA Draft.

Thanks for the insight. First time I heard this suggested. Prick.

We will see what happens. Agree it is a mixed bag in some ways.

Glad to help you out.  I know you haven't actually watched a basketball game since 1963.

What does that even mean?

The remaining question is how UI, the B1G, and the NCAA deal with Kofi's Trunk.

You only pretty much post the  same comment every time the topic comes up. Kofi needs to learn how to pass out of the double team and defend the pick and roll.

I am not really objecting, and actually agree, but if you want to be a major league asshole ...

Funny. That is the year I started watching basketball. I realize you kids think eventd that happened  before you were born are ancient history. It's kind of cute watching you grow up and learn life does not revolve around yourself.
