As time goes on, the word going around seems to be that there's an increasing chance that Kofi wraps things up this Fall and signs in the early period

Florida St. looks to be out of the running? - he didn't go on his originally planned visit there and they just took Balsa

That leaves Illinois and UConn. He is on his UConn visit right now

Illinois offered Cockburn a few weeks after Antigua was hired in spring 2017. He is the "five-star in 2019" guy that people pointed to as an Antigua recruit while Illinois was striking out on some guys in 2018 and everyone was calling for Antigua's head. Long relationship and lots of PT available

UConn is horrible and their program is in an even worse spot than Illinois right now. Preseason Kenpom #102, and a new coach. Illinois signed a five-star guard, Jones, and Feliz in 2018 while UConn's 2018 class consisted of one three-star combo guard.

Illinois has the longest-standing relationship, from what I understand.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't expect Illinois to get the last visit, wrap this one up and convince Kofi to sign in the Fall signing period?
