Definitely not enough love for 'Dre.
WARRIOR that will be missed. He's never shot it well from behind the arc, but he gets to the line, rebounds very well for a guard, makes good decisions, and is fearless. 2:1 A/T to boot.
Hard to say what our final roster will look like at this point. If things go as planned/expected, we'll lose Ayo, but pick up Miller. Kofi is expected back at this point, but I'm curious what the scouts think of him. His progression has been astounding, and his size...holy crap! The NBA has changed so much, I'm not sure where a guy like him fits, but he can defend, and that alone has gotten some 7 footers to the league. Just guessing, but I would think he'd get input but come back next year. Getting shivers thinking about a stronger, more experienced Kofi. Please let it happen! That said, I'm happy for all the Illini that go on to get their payday.
On the transfer rule, that's for sure going to hurt smaller programs. With all the scandals we've witnessed in revenue sports, you have to believe there will be programs that put whispers in guys ears so they can poach. I could see that getting out of control. While I'm generally for the students having free movement, it might make sense to find a creative solution to poaching that's less than a full season, but puts some burden on the receiving institution.
