[QUOTE="illini80, post: 1542258, member: 2241"] I think C/U and UI have been trying to get it back since it left. It probably should have returned several years ago. While Peoria did a great job, I think it had run its course and the fan interest level just isnt what it once was. Hopefully the move can reignite some enthusiasm, and it probably will to some extent. Just not the glory days many of us still remember. The nearly year round nature of AAU has become more of a focal point for many. When you listen to recruiting analysts they will tell you AAU is much more important to recruits than HS due to the level of competition. Bottom line is it’s still good for Illinois and C/U. I’m anxious to see what they can do with it. [/QUOTE]
