  • Illini players who may defect?

    Anyone interested in any?? I think it's at least fair game to talk about them as potential transfers...

    Tracy Abrams - FR - a very early commit to Bruce Weber - was strongly tied to Bruce & Jerrance...if they don't re-hire Jerrance, Abrams may want out.
    He played a lot but was not real effective - 4 ppg, 2 apg

    Joe Bertrand - SO - maybe the best talent who might be on BU's radar as I recall BU was interested back when Joe was at Sterling.

    ...6.5 ppg, 54% shooting

    Ibby Djimde - probably shouldn't be in the Big Ten - may very well be looking to step down and find some playing time, but he's from out east and I think it's a long shot.
    0.3 ppg, 0.8 rpg in just 3.6 minutes per game

    Nnanna Egwu - FR - Nnanna is absolutely the prototype of a player who would dominate at the mid-major level - but he is a year or two away at the Big Ten level.
    I think we need to land him if he wants out!
    2 ppg, 1.5 rpg in a sub role with 9.8 min per game

    Myke Henry - FR - 3.2 ppg in few minutes - a good shooter, and would be an Anthony Parker - like player in the Valley - I sure hope he considers it...

    Devin Langford - FR - already redshirted making it less likely he'd leave and if he did he'd propbably go closer to home (Alabama)
    BUT - -he can play SG at 6-7....very appealing...

    Mike Shaw - 6-8 FR power forward - probably too highly rated to consider mid-major, only 1 ppg, 2 rpg but never had much chance

    Tyler Griffey - JR - he has only one year left - but seriously he needs to get out ASAP so he doesn't waste his final season on the pines.
    Griffey could be a Jackie Carmichael/maybe more like-Kyle Weems-type player

    Both Paul and DJ - would only have a year to play in college....
    but still might want out.....

    I also wonder about the Illini recruits...Michael Orris, Malcolm Hill

      I look for Jerrance to stay so I think most players will stay at Illinois.

        It will be interesting to see. I will guess that Illinois makes a very attractive hire for current players and recruits.

        actually I thought Abrams was fairly effective for a freshman...

        I doubt though there is much change....Dimjde maybe....the big difference here is many of these guys always wanted to play at Illinois which is a little difference than a mid-major...it might be more if the coach wants some of these guys

          How incredibly ironic if BU were to grab one of the Illini underclassmen or recruits due to the coaching change there!
