Happy Ayo Day, Illini fans!
With football looking somewhat lifeless, a weary Fighting Illini nation turns its eyes south of Kirby to Brad Underwood’s men’s basketball program. Tonight has the potential to be a huge night for Illini hoops after all the speculation that residual heat from the FBI investigation had profoundly affected Underwood’s ability to close the deal with recruits. Ayo Dosunmu is the home-grown five-star point guard John Groce tried in vain to land for five years, and tonight he will announce his decision between Illinois and Wake Forest.
Of course, Illini fans are no stranger to bizarre twists and turns in recruitment.
