Rumor - Ohio's DJ Cooper to Illinois

[tornado]

what better way to bolster his resume -- play in the Big Ten??

Opinion column says Ohio's DJ Cooper is contemplating leaving Ohio and going to Illinois with his coach John Groce

One other rumor -- that based on his high profile play at the end of the season -- Indiana's Cody Zeller has moved way up the charts and is now listed as TOP 10 in this year's draft!
Thus he is rumored to be exploring that option of going in this year's draft........
ESPN predicts him going 6th

If true he should bolt! I like the way he plays and he'll be a pretty good pro player.

If was anything like his last performance, fans in Urbana will be wishing they still had their last transfer PG. I'd take Sammy over that cat anyday, bad ankles or not.

I agree SFP. If Zeller's stock is this high after his freshman year my question would be can it get any higher. If Zeller has a solid guarantee of being picked 6th he'd be a fool to stay IMO.

Based on one report, DJ Cooper was at the Chicago Bulls game last night ...and still strong rumor he may be headed to Illinois

Based on Orris' de-commitment I'd say the odds of Cooper to Illinois have increased.

I think it's possible we haven't seen the last of the turmoil on the Illinois roster. I am hearing that some of Weber's players are looking into transfer options, including Abrams.

I would be shocked if it didn't happen; it happened here. Right now, players like Abrams are being contacted by every sleazy power broker who will try to steer them to the UK's and KU's of the world.
