Over the course of our long basketball history, 80+% of our roster has hailed from the state of Illinois Among all of those teams, our best seasons have come when we locked down our own state by consistently securing 3 or 4 of the top in-state players each year (1980's, 1990's, 2000's). While I certainly welcome players like Stewart, I think the proven formula is to "take all the best players from Illinois, and never look back." Don't let Indiana, Purdue, Kansas, Kentucky or Duke take our guys.
