On freshman-heavy team, Dominique Keller hoping for starting spot
November 6, 2009 12:12 PM
The only scholarship senior on a team boosted by four talented freshmen, Illinois forward Dominique Keller often finds himself surrounded by questions about the rookies.
"I'm happy for the freshmen, and they bring a lot of attention to the program,'' Keller said. "But sometimes it does seem disrespectful. I don't let it bother me. I tell those guys to keep their head and stay focused. I hang out with those guys, and it's extra motivation for me. I sometimes play with a chip on my shoulder.''
