So did Frazier just recruit his first ever 2 top 100 players?

Yes.   Harris ranking being held back by espn

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

Kid and his people sure like the drama

Looks like we've got a couple new commitments since the outage felt 'round the world.

2 very solid additions

Very good chance Reggie Bass will never play at Illinois. I don’t know much about him or his game but he has some “issues” apparently

What is the Illinois NIL model as opposed to other programs?

Illinois is using an official service/company that quantifies the amount for the player that they will get paid via NIL and endorsements. In Garcia’s case it was something like 200k ish.

Other schools are not using that company and instead just throwing out numbers. Illinois is actually doing things the *correct* way …but…yeah. I know UNC tossed out a number significantly higher. Doesn’t mean that player will ever see that money, but they are being told they will.

Garcia is out

The Illinois NIL model (which was supposed to be a strength) is apparently a flop

That could be, but that is not how he is framing it. If it is money; we might have a shot.  My concern is he becomes unhappy with his role.   

Well…what is he supposed to say?

“ my handlers who have groomed me for a payday just found out I won’t be getting drafted. Because of that, they need to find the largest payout as a replacement as quickly as possible ”

Based upon my understanding, his guys are running the whole search for him. Man, it’s almost as if this wasn’t their first rodeo doing this …

Insider at tos claims OA told Kofi to stay at Illinois.
 

That is true, but not how you framed it. OA and Brad discussed a hands off policy on all incoming recruits and current players. OA running afoul of Illinois would not be in his best interests…there’s a closet he left behind

This Kofi thing has absolutely nothing to do with basketball.

Has everything to do with leeches looking for the quickest and biggest $$

That had to be a crazy few days.
Too bad. Would have been a great get.

I mean...maybe that was just an excuse too ? Perhaps she said in private “ I’m not fucking moving there”.  Idk?

There’s nothing at all “creepy” about it. The wife squashed it and that’s what he had to report back. It was about as done as done gets

I stopped paying attention to this shit show.

The last I heard (sorry if this was posted) was that we had a chance to pry away Dennis Gates but that the AD office refused the buy out and salary.

What was posted about Huss earlier was accurate...but the why (wife saying no) was that one of their kids couldn’t get into UofI

I don’t really think they got much cooking but the leaks are getting tightened as they keep getting embarrassed

Today's update. It is really hot. Hulka golfing.


Loyalty poster Combes claims Hess not only accepted the job,  but was on zoom  call with a recruit.
Then went home and his wife kicked his ass and he backed out.

Combes.   The definition of orange sweater vest CU

He’s right though

So the Illinois orange colored read on Kofi is that the plan is him trying to convince the world he’s absolutely leaving in order to improve draft stock. When, in reality, they know he’s likely coming back

....the orange Kool aid read on coaches and recruits has been wildly accurate lately if you couldn’t tell.
