[QUOTE="hoopsfan47, post: 1818395, member: 4716"] One of my major concerns prior to the season was just who was going to be the Alpha Dog? It was genuine as the team had so many new players and no one knew who or what could/would emerge. I was kind of hoping Goode would be the guy with has toughness and competence at both ends, as well as TSJ with his experience....but lacking in vocal input. Hawkins had showed too much immaturity so his next step was a mystery. Yet, in his defense, he has become the consummate team player whose overall game has matured immensely. But there is no doubt now that Shannon is using his elite talents and work ethic to lead and spark this team when needed. It is hard not to see that he is superior to Ayo at both ends of the court, which makes one wonder if the Illini could have another First Team AA and maybe a lottery pick in the works. When needed, he quietly says "watch me and follow my lead", and the show begins. Welcome home TSJ!! [/QUOTE]
