Freshmen may help Illinois to regain its glory

I don't know how good Brandon Paul is or will become, but I know this: Through two games of this Illini basketball season, the freshman guard has become a lightning rod for excitement in the Assembly Hall.
I don't know how good D.J. Richardson is or will become, but I know this: Throughout the summer, and until he hurt his elbow last week, the freshman guard had established himself as Illinois' most willing defender, mature beyond his years, and a better-than-average scorer.
I don't know how good Jereme Richmond is, or how good Crandall Head or Meyers Leonard will become, but I know this: Those three recruits who will be freshmen next year are rare athletes just scratching the surface of their potential.
