Illinois over SIUE, 96-69
Illinois beats Northern, 80-61
So in last night's game we had 4 players with 29+ minutes:
Paul & Richardson (freshmen)
Davis & McCamey (juniors)
And then 5 players with 9-19 minutes:
Keller (senior)
Tisdale, Cole, Legion (juniors)
Griffey (freshman)
So far, we have a 9-man rotation. Not sure how Jordan will fit into the mix.
So looking forward, 2010 season should be way better, with incoming star freshmen and not losing any major players.
2011 we might take a hit as we're losing 5 of our current 9 players. We'll have a solid junior and sophomore class, with a freshmen class to be determined.
2012 should also be strong, assuming that Paul and Richardson don't leave early, Richmond, Head and Leonard are as advertised, and we get some support from recruits. Obviously this is jumping the gun, but when you have two elite recruiting classes in a row, it stands to reason that when the first are senior, the second are junior, you could be talking Final Four run.
