You know a sport that hasn't changed?

Mud Wrestling

 

Clearly you have not watched lately.  Silicon is ruining women's matches for diehards like me that appreciate the natural chest.  But these youngsters want their fake chests which cause so many more concussions on contact.  And don’t get me started on all the changes to little people matches….

For those who think Kofi is coming back to Illinois

“I don’t care if I go un-drafted,” Cockburn said. “I know when I get my opportunity I am going to show people that I belong there."

Thought this was an interesting comment...sure that probably won't ever come out of coaches mouths when recruiting vs Illinois. 

“My coach (Brad Underwood) is not coaching me in college basketball to send me to the next level, he is coaching me to win basketball games here,” Cockburn said. “In the future I will have the opportunity to show people what I am capable of doing– that I am capable of playing at the next level.”

No offense to Kofi, but what exactly does he think he's going to do/should be doing in college? Popping 3's all game?

He's a brute, that's his game. That's how he's used. Not sure what he's complaining about.

Brad was on with the "Field of 68" guys yesterday and made a remark that "if the first thing a recruit asks me is how much he can make via NIL, I'm hanging up!" 🤣

He's not really complaining, if you watch the video the context is a little clearer.

With the way the college game is trending he will maybe have to rethink that. All the top recruits are going to start asking that.

I get it and a very small portion of me applauds his attempts to stay old school but he has to know where that ultimately will get him.

You may be taking his comments too literally. guys. 🤣

Though I do think Illinois and a lot of Big Ten schools are probably a little more restrictive on NIL stuff than other conferences, so it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

Yeah I don’t think he is saying he won’t allow his guys to seek that stuff out..just if that is their sole concern and main focus…then he isn’t interested in a “me” first kid…and I get that. Enough talent out there to find kids that love basketball and their teammates and love winning…and the NIL stuff will come naturally.
