But there are now reports that while Kofi is staying in the draft, he has also decided to enter the transfer portal.
The tweet by Slater comes as a bit of a shock to the system, as Kofi seemed to be set on the NBA.
7’ Kofi Cockburn, who was a 2nd-team All-American & 1st-team All-Big 10, will enter the transfer portal, while keeping his name in the NBA Draft.
I realize that the Illini lost a lot of their coaching staff, but Brad Underwood is still the head coach and leading this team.
If I had to guess, I would say Kofi backs out of the NBA Draft and ends up with the Kentucky Wildcats.
As far as roster construct goes, I have mentally moved on from Kofi a while ago.
