Totally stoked. Illini Track & Field has been an afterthought for too long.

IllinoisIntegrity is being dragged as one would expect given his comments on integrity and loyalty. Big-time college sports have always been at least a little dirty and Illinois being a role model is a heroic characterization. But his main point is that he's now choosing not to donate. I can...

Agreed. Not a perfect candidate but better than I thought we could get. Looks like a very good hire.

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned and believe was the case: Cuonzo Martin (and Juwan Howard, BTW) had indicated interest in attending illinois conditional on the severity of NCAA penalties back in 1990. We got hit hard so he went to Purdue instead. Maybe he looks at this as unfinished...
