Said it a few days ago that these kids weren't quiet about their plans. Tilmon will be a bit more hesitant to commit but people should feel good about our chances. This roster will be extremely balanced if we can get a couple of bigs. JCL is going to get plenty of buckets in the next few years, we have a couple of point guards and some decent athleticism all the way up to the 4 with Kipper and DJW. Would have been great to get a pg sooner than 2016 but things are looking up if people can be patient.

I know he's had his problems that have perhaps prevented this, but I hope Frank gets involved with the program more, even as just a cheerleader. My all time favorite.

Felt optimistic when Henricksen said Da'Monte was the one Illinois player none of the other schools were even asking him about, but it still feels fantastic to see it announced for sure. Welcome DM!

I'm floored...did not see this coming. I just logged on to see the score of the game, which I had to miss tonight.
