For those of you who were betting Coleman Hawkins would enter the transfer portal before Thursday night's deadline, your pockets are a bit lighter today.

For those laying odds that he won't be in the NBA next season, well...at least you still have a chance.

Truth is, the NBA is a real possibility for the 6'10" forward.  At least 50/50 with a return to Illinois for his senior season and some would lay even greater odds that he'll be cashing an NBA paycheck instead of chasing NIL payout.  I've talked with several reporters, former NBA players, and scouts. All come up with the same report.

For a moment this spring, there was some buzz that star Michigan center Hunter Dickinson's transfer portal journey might land him in Illinois orange and blue for his final collegiate season.

But, long before Dickinson's Thursday morning announcement that he will run with Kansas, the Illini coaching staff had already turned its attention to Utah Valley transfer big man Aziz Bandaogo.
