Uuuuuuuugh

Playing time issue? I always thought he wasn’t getting enough minutes.

 

[coryfor3]

WTF!? Why?
I thought he should’ve played more this yess as e but I also assumed he’d play a lot next year.

 

[Illinifan1229]

Maybe word on the inside is Ayo is staying? Just no room for AG0?

 

[haasi]

Oh boy

 

[PlayAZ]

Glass half full....Ayo possibly returning and Miller starts with him and Trent? Sorry to see Alan go, he made great strides this year. Good Luck to him at the next stop.

That performance at NW will always be etched in my mind. What a night!! Good luck Alan wherever you go.

 

[PlayAZ]

Not listed as of yet...

 

[krushalot2005]

I did not see this coming. He seemed to completely gel with the team Hot take...he is going to go to Duke to play with his brother (really based on nothing).

 

[illiniswish09]

Well this is a total blindside

 

[TCTORNADO]

Rumor has it Rutgers for Griffin.

 

[BlueLeader]

Really bad news if we aren't getting some complimentary good news in the near term.

 

[TooHot4Tots]

wow

 

[PlayAZ]

Carton is possibly more of a possibility now?, especially if hardship for mental (Smith rule) or transfer rule goes in place? No sitting out?

Rumor has it Rutgers for Griffin.

That would be awful. I can't imagine seeing him light it up against us multiple times a year. Really sad.

I hope though that this means we will have a surprise player transferring in.

 

[whatahack]

WOW...just WOW

 

[Sizzler22]

Man if Ayo doesn’t return...ouch

 

[westcoastillini]

Nut punch

 

[Illini Pride]

His hashtag........gotta be something involving Ayo......

 

[DB11Headband]

We were due for a nut punch. This one hurts-was really looking forward to watching Alan be a key cog the next two years. Hopefully this means we have a nice surprise coming, but who knows

 

[illinibballfan]

What in the world? Did not see that coming. Figured he was starting next year.

Total speculation on my part, but notice that #WhyNot is like Ayo's #WhyNotMe. I don't think that's a coincidence, but I really don't know how to interpret it.

Ayo is his best friend on the team. Him staying would probably help us with Alan.

we can’t keep losing guys that should be starters.

FWIW, he's always used that hashtag. The entire season.
