Kofi Cockburn returned to Illinois for NCAA Tournament redemption
Cockburn has the Fighting Illini looking forward. And unlike a year ago, they're having a good time.
Cockburn isn't close to the same player he was a year ago. He's more complete, refining his game by perfecting footwork while developing a more diverse repertoire around the rim that will serve him well at the next level. Cockburn's the focus of every defense he faces, so Underwood isn't too worried about what the Mocs might throw at Illinois.
Cockburn has carried an even heavier load for Illinois. And with those shoulders, that's hardly a problem for him.“One thing that stands out the most for me about Kofi is just how much better he has been in college compared to when I first seen him in high school,” said De Sousa, a 6-9 big man who began his career at Kansas.
