Fair point on MD being a coach’s kid and hilarious Y reference. I’m 41 so it hits a little close to home.Is that really surprising? Domask plays like a 40 year old at the Y who has to ice down his knees after a game.
And I mean that in the best way possible. He was also a 5th year senior and a coaches kid.
Also, I love Coleman for last year but the previous years were up and down. There was also the entire birthday party thing.
I think it’s fair.Interesting. 247 rankings of transfers. Coleman 22nd. Are there really 21 better players in the portal this year? Kylan 37, Booth 93, Humrichous 107.
Looks great, but the defense looks like an all-star game, lol!new name, has game:
Yes, Louisville has very little affect on us. I’m not sure it’s a great spot for him. I know they’ve made some good movement but I’m not confident they will still be much of a factor this year.We okay with CoHawk ending up at Louisville?

Report: Louisville Still Inquiring About Adding Illinois Transfer Coleman Hawkins
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Earlier this week, the Louisville men's basketball officially announced the signings for all of their newcomers for year one under new head cowww.si.com
Hearing it could be closer to 3M
This kid is 100% going to the highest bidder.
It's been said a lot that the staff is connected to some five stars in the '25 class...even outside of Riley.And will only increase.
They got that Mormon man. Trust me, its real.![]()
No. 1 ranked AJ Dybantsa will make unofficial visit to BYU
The nation's top ranked player in the class of 2025 will take an unofficial visit to BYU this weekend his father confirms to 247Sports.247sports.com
What's really up with BYU? Goodness...
Hope we get a visit too. Piper said we'll have to pay him around 2 mil (maybe even more). Whether that's worth it or not is another deal...
but hope he visits here as well - it's been said on here he will.
Humrichous will end up being one of thee best transfers in this class
Louisville can countLouisville has filled it scholarship allotment.

From the article:Louisville has filled it scholarship allotment.
These are great points. I really appreciate your thoughts here.Maybe as much as Podz blowing up at UCSB hurt us.
Kids frequently improve from year to year. Coleman improved a lot from year 3 to year 4 and he could continue in that trend. Podz of course is on a whole different level and in isolation I don't think his experience looks great for BU. But I also think recruits pay attention to so many other things that it doesn't matter.
I'll add that Coleman was (approximately) the 160 ranked player out of H.S. His performance for us far surpassed that recruiting ranking. He improved significantly while at IL. So that looks good for us. But again, it's one of 10,000 things a recruit might look at.
Holy crap! I’m glad I’m not your brother!CoHawk reminds me a great deal of my freshman-year roommate. A sophomore, which tells you something. Guy was, coincidentally, a solid 6'-plus hoopster. Athletically and academically gifted. Among a handful of the smartest people I've ever met. And a completely arrogant, immature, pain-in-the-s$$. It's a wonder I didn't bludgeon him at some point that year.
Love him like a brother, though. He grew up and we keep in touch regularly 40 years later. A couple weeks ago I brought up some ridiculous argument we had that year concerning music. (He was mocking something I was playing on my boom box.) Was rofl'ing about it. His response was brilliant: “Sorry. As someone once noted: 'One of my least favorite people in this world is my 18-year-old self.' ”
My ardent wish for TrollHawk is that he'll have the self-awareness to use that line in ~ 25 years.
Holy crap! I’m glad I’m not your brother!![]()
Sounds like we need to triple our NIL budget.And will only increase.
Nah, Hummer is way too lowI think it’s fair.
Conflict clarifies.Holy crap! I’m glad I’m not your brother!![]()
You won’t have to worry about that. He’s not an alpha. He’s a great role player who is multi faceted.Apologies if this has been discussed already (I’ve been hanging out at other places lately), but if Coleman goes somewhere and blows up in his one year, becoming a lottery pick, that could hurt us on the recruiting trail down the road, no?
Are we to the point where we feel slighted when someone who is voluntarily transferring away from the Illini doesn’t get rated highly enough?Interesting. 247 rankings of transfers. Coleman 22nd. Are there really 21 better players in the portal this year? Kylan 37, Booth 93, Humrichous 107.
If he continues to improve as much as he did between years 3 and 4, he will be a heck of a player, alpha or not. He should go somewhere like UConn where he has a chance to win it all. Make a lot of money and win a championship would be good justifications for a 5th year of college.You won’t have to worry about that. He’s not an alpha. He’s a great role player who is multi faceted.
