Oh, definitely. I'm sure that in the end, fan love isn't going to make that huge of a difference. I think that as the general fanbase goes, it's pretty clear that VCU is more excited about him than Illinois is, though. During his OV here, most of the chatter in this thread was conjecture about Wilkes.
I'd really like to see Kiir in O&B. He would very clearly be a key rotation player.
When Kiir visited you hardly new it on this board. Everybody had Wilkes mania at the time. Be a sad deal if we miss out on both of them. And yes Mayan does like attention like he has said. Love to see Mayan playing for the Illini.
