Denis Lougeay, Encinitas, CA: Paul, There has been a lot of fans discussion this year about who should start for the Illini. In your opinion how important is that to individual players and team chemistry? Specifically, how important to Bill Cole, Jereme, and Brandon? Is the controversy affecting the players and will that change as the season progresses?
Klee: Denis- It matters to players. If they tell you otherwise, they're pulling your chain or their name is Trent Meacham. Brandon Paul wants to start. So does Jereme Richmond. Bill Cole? He's older. He simply wants to win. I think you'll see Brandon Paul in the starting lineup sooner rather than later. He's left a mark in games, but he's also doing it in practice.
