[QUOTE="Roundball Sage, post: 1699081, member: 748116"] So far this season we’ve seen Trent just take over games when his team needed him to. For all his great qualities, the fact that he’s doing this points right back to another great quality of his: Team First. Ego, No. How? Trent voluntarily let Ayo take the lead Alpha over the Illini when Ayo arrived. Trent sent aside his ego and personal stats as he knew what Ayo represented to the team and the program’s revival in general. Trent learned how to become a tenacious defender that drives the opponents crazy. He did not pout. He expanded his game and became a better player. And now that Ayo has moved on, Trent has slipped right back to being floor leader and Mister Clutch when the team is in trouble and the game is on the line. For all the high marks that Trent will show in the record books when his Illini career is over, it is his quality of maturity and selflessness that really sets him apart from many players. He is a most remarkable young man. And a joy to watch in whatever way he plays his game. [/QUOTE]
