Via his Instagram page, Illini big man Kofi Cockburn announced that he will declare for the NBA Draft. The post by Kofi thanks multiple people including the ones who helped him get where he is today. He also thanked Illini Nation for supporting him.
It has been a wild couple of years for Illinois basketball fans. We were able to land back-to-back solid classes that featured Ayo Dousnmu and Kofi. In the snap of a finger, it all could be gone. But it was an exciting and fun few months we got to witness this kid play basketball, though.
