Kofi Cockburn has solidified the Illinois basketball frontcourt for the 2021-22 campaign.

Illini fans need to be thankful that Kofi returned for one more season with the program. I believe this will be his final ride with the team. That means Illinois needs a big man for the future. That big man could end up being Xavier Booker.
