[QUOTE="GalloppingGost, post: 1617590, member: 747641"] Well said everyone. Love his work ethic, his dedication, HIS COMMITMENT. He did what he said he wanted to do. He stayed home. He accomplished a big ten tournament title (should have been co-champions) got Illinois a number seed, turned a program around and made Illinois basketball relevant again. What else can we ask for from his young man(other than one more year😬😬). He is deserving. Joins great company. Will be a first round pick and fulfill his dreams. He was so RIGHT. You don’t have to go to Duke, or Kentucky to fulfill your dreams. You can stay home and represent your state school and become a legend. Too bad certain others on this team can’t realize that! Ayo did it the right way. He honored his commitment. He got in the weight room and changed his body. He worked on his game and got better every year, staying in school were he could benefit from being able to focus on these things. These kids who jump to the g-league or try to go pro too early are going for the short cut which often leads to bouncing around league after league. Those leagues are a business. You are expected to be an adult at 18/19 years old. It’s perform or go home. Few have that discipline or the emotional maturity to be on there own and be in a business environment. Ayo was wise to do what he did. And one day his jersey will hang in the rafters in Champaign and it’s well deserved. Forever Ayo. Great job. And congratulations to him and his family. [/QUOTE]
