Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
Hate to read this. I don't know any of the laws/rules of the NIL contracts these days, but I would love to see Illinois offer him a spot on the team. Let him be a great teammate as he recovers and rehabs. I don't care if he even picks up a basketball, to me he has earned his right to a spot. Make up a "special assistant" position,if no spots left on the roster. Do what is needed to let this young man come back home, graduate with his teammates, and support of the University as he recovers from what has to be a incredibly tough time. I understand some people may not agree because he left, people like Ty Rodgers never truly leave. For those who don't think he deserves it out of heart, maybe you could focus on how incredible it would be and look for the University to do so as far as the PR part. I would have him come back and start what could be a career at the university. Anyways, just my opinion, but certainly hate to hear this news of another tough break for the young man.
We do have a roster spot open.
