Weber: Tough guys needed
January 19, 2009 11:56 PM
If you took a straw poll around the Illini (15-3, 3-2 Big Ten) locker room -- Who's ready to replace Chester's toughness? -- all of zero hands would rise toward the ceiling.
The staff would like to see Demetri McCamey evolve into a hard-nosed leader. And that's possible, as Frazier and fellow seniors Calvin Brock and Trent Meacham have displayed greater toughness as their careers progressed. Weber cited sophomore Jeff Jordan as another candidate, and junior Dominique Keller will be the lone senior in the playing rotation next season. There are others who could emerge, as well.
