Underwood just said Lucas is back with the team and available for Wisconsin game. Good to hear.

Just saw a tweet about Da'Monte reconfirming his commitment to the Illini from Coach Dave Williams https://twitter.com/Dwilliams1515/status/847167541726380032

Besides James Griffin, his recruiting classmate Cletis Hubbard (aka "Sue"), who transferred pretty quickly.

Just saw a positive tweet re tilmon situation. On an airplane on my phone so can't link here easily. But thrust was tilmon sticks with the Illini! It was from Dariush

Da'Monte Williams latest tweet says this "50/50". That's it. Hope he is going to be an Illini!

On the issue of the Tilmon LOI (and others in the class), I can state with some confidence that Illinois will NOT refuse a release from the LOI. It's just not the way Illinois has or is going to operate. I sure hope Jeremiah and the others come here, but with Coach Groce having been let go...

Da'Monte Williams just tweeted: "Can't confirm anything". https://twitter.com/DAWilliams14/status/843539515918733313

I saw Rutgers almost beat Northwestern in Evanston. They seem better than a 2 win team to me. The Illini will need to be ready to play. I think they will be.

Only 7 Illini turnovers. Very, very solid indeed. Hats off to Leron Black and of course Malcolm and Mav and indeed all the players. Great team win.

Malcolm Hill. Indeed, an Illini great. So happy for him. Gave it his all for 4 years, and not done yet. And a Weber recruit originally, right?

So proud of this team Malcolm is weeping on TV. Mav has developed as well as any Illini over 4 years that I have ever seen. So proud.

This is great news. Welcome back, DJ Williams. Let's go beat Maryland!

Exactly! The team must be worse then anyone thought, despite all the 5 star talent. Watch out Coach Capel! Just ask Coach Gaudet. "Gee, guys, sorry, my back is worse than I thought. Let me know how the season ends up."

Will Coach K claim any wins and try to give the losses to Capel while he is out? That seems to be his history!
