Title: Do you think Ayo and Kofi comeback?
Post by: frankiew on May 20, 2020, 09:30:33 AM: Ayo I say no

Kofi-yes.

If Kofi doesn't come back, what a huge mistake

Post by: Judge Judy on May 20, 2020, 10:08:05 AM: They both SHOULD come back. I agree that Ayo will probably stay in though and Kofi will be back. I really think if they both came back we could potentially see a Final Four and possibly our first National Championship.

Post by: Judge Judy on May 20, 2020, 10:41:57 AM: Agreed. That’s not just my O&B-colored glasses either. I legit think this team with those two would be that good.

Post by: illiniray on May 21, 2020, 02:35:32 PM: Guards: Ayo, Frazier, Miller, Curbelo
Wings: Damonte, Hutcherson, Grandison
Bigs: Kofi, Georgi, Hawkins, BBV, Hamlin

That group could do some damage.

Post by: Custard on May 23, 2020, 11:18:05 AM: Damonte played well down the stretch this past season and we don’t really know what we have in the two transfers

You're not wrong but I'll take a lineup with a bunch of guards that can play over wings 100/100 times in college basketball. The bigger question to me is with a second big guy. Giorgi fell right off last year, he was awful.

If that roster comes back we will be projected near the top of another strong Big Ten, and rightfully so.

Hopefully Curbelo with take some of the sting out of that.

Post by: illinicalvin on May 29, 2020, 05:59:25 PM: That would be fantastic. I'm a born skeptic and I think that would make us a B1G front-runner.
Title: Re: Do you think Ayo and Kofi comeback?
Post by: Custard on May 29, 2020, 07:23:26 PM: Man losing a Feliz sucks but adding Curbelo and Miller...Ayo and Kofi another year older...hard not to get excited but we know we can’t have nice things cuz Illinois

Post by: Chukwudebe on July 14, 2020, 05:44:07 PM: So is Kofi on a student visa? Would he have to leave if U of I went all online?
Title: Re: Do you think Ayo and Kofi comeback?
Post by: illiniray on July 15, 2020, 02:21:15 PM: Dunno 'bout student visa, but supposedly they are both waiting to see if they get invited to the combine. There may or may not be a combine and if there is one, it may or may not be virtual. The various dates are tentative, confusing and sources conflicts.

Early entry withdrawal date: NCAA says August 3 or 10 days after the combine; whichever comes first. That would be August 3. The NBA says ~~August 17~~ Oct. 6. So ????

Combine Date: Not yet set. Expected to happen, teams have invitations, but might not happen. Might be virtual.

Prospect workouts with interested teams: Not set.

NBA Draft: ~~August 25.~~ October 16
