Great Andrej is returning and enjoys Illinois. Was peaking towards end of season.

Saw Keaton at floor level against VCU, NBA size period. Uses his length well, as he packs muscle like Ayo did.. will be a problem.

Maybe catch him at JMU for a game. Back in the day he would be a solid contributor in year 2.

These list don't include pre-2000. Deon Thomas, Marcus Liberty, Nick Anderson, Frank Williams, Marcus Griffin, several others were MCAA.

Last years Iverson had the top players, MCAA/Lottery picks. Only player not there was Keaton, but he was below the radar. This year's event I didn't recognize many of the players. Ton of talent, probably alot of 25-50 ranked players.

It is an All-Star game....All-Star game ..TOs will happen.

Coleman is an all around player. Will get open shots in the Illini offense, seems automatic. Need to lock down our defense at the guard spot.

Is he on a Jeremiah Fears trajectory? Our squad looking good for next year.

We were in early, seems like he dropped in rating. Probably needs to go somewhere where he is in the rotation or starting. Then make a play for a top program.

Morillo is not Ben or Ty, really reminds me more of the 2005 Louisville guard Francisco Garcia. Both Dominican guard, 6'7, similar builds and game IMHO. Morillo likely going to be thicker. Garcia may have been an AA that year, led Louisville to Final Four, losing to Illinois. Believe he was...

Love seeing the players enjoy campus life and interacting with students (99% coeds :)) Good to see Ty and Brandon still around.

Lebron saw THT in a AAU game and liked how he played. Physically matured faster than most, hurt us his freshmen year. Was a better version of Sergio McClain.

Ayo whose knock was that he lacked NBA athleticism has turned into a pretty fast downhill guard. Not only fast, but match that with positional height/muscle abd he us a force. DiVencenzo tore his achilles, Ayo going to play a ton in playoffs and next year. Looks like TWolves starting PG.

Believe THT still has him beat in career earnings due to leaving college earlier and getting an overly generous 2nd contract. Ayo will eclipse him by a ton with his 3rd contract and possibly ser a 4th one as well.

Very nice recruiting, seems like we are getting positional size and shooting. Pettigrew kid looks very good.
