Brutal day for Illini on Friday, seeing Top 5 PF Cliff Alexander sign with Kansas (after doing the "hat fake" with Illini lid) and Top 40 PG Quentin Snyder sign with Louisville after flipping from Cardinals to Illinois a couple of months ago.
At least the product on the court has been a somewhat pleasant surprise so far, moving to 4-0 with a rout of Bradley this evening.
I think the arrow is still pointed up for the program, but the quick path to Top 10-15 has been derailed. Back to steady improvement from the wreckage that Webber left behind.
