Start looking at stats of Freshmen in comparison for the team overall. Look at what guys like Gill and Head did as Freshmen. Underwood is getting at least another year, as he should, unless something unforeseen occurs. If they finish this recruiting class as I think they will, those Freshmen become Sophs, they get some more length and rim protection.

Yup I'm so excited about the next season with Underwood. He's really got things headed in the right direction.

And yes. The program is headed in the right direction. They just landed 5 star Kofi Cockburn today. 6'10"/290 5 star C. It looks like they may have another high quality commitment to announce in the next few days, too.

They'll "land" Kofi after he signs. If you know Illini history, you should know better.

You obviously don't know why he chose Illinois.

I do now why. And please don't act like you're some sort of insider. Nothing is certain for Illinois and recruits, not ever.
You should know better.

You don't know why. He even posted he was going to help recruit others to Illinois in his commitment tweet. Quit being a dope. Nothing I stated is being an insider. You should know how he is connected to Illinois. You can't answer that. If you could, you know it's essentially a done deal.

Lol okay. If he ends up signing elsewhere, I expect you to apologize for being a naive little cuckold.

If he signs with Illinois, I expect you to crawl back into the dismal hole you came from and leave the Cubs forum, too.

I won't and I haven't even made any prediction on Kofi. All I've done is suggest caution before celebrating. You're problem is always acting like a know it all.
Didn't you promise Illinois would be in a bowl game when they hired Lovie? Lmao

His handler has ties to Antigua. It's been a done deal for awhile.

Unless Antigua goes back to Kentucky at season's end.

Nothing is a done deal with Illinois. They always seem to lose a big time recruit at the last minute. Hell, even the 89 team didn't have their biggest recruit play because he was killed on the streets of Chicago. Champaign is in the middle of nowhere with very little modern history and some of the worst athletic facilities in the conference. Not surprising an inner city kid doesn't want to go there.

Kofi looks like a bit of a stiff to me but if Haas from Purdue can be a stud in conference I guess Kofi has hope. Just not sure how he meshes with the system Underwood would prefer to run.
