Illinois basketball definitely in transition

Seven new players next year. Is that the biggest class you've ever had?

Weber: It's not ideal by any means, but we feel good about it. We feel we have a group that'll get after it. They're not going to back down. We got some toughness. We have some athleticism. We have some energy, some excitement in the group and we basically covered the gamut. We have the point guard, we have the shooter, we have some athletes, we have some rebounders, some inside presence.
