#illini left open a few scholarships just in case some opportunities arose this spring. So when NIU transfer DB James Finley, a former four-star prep prospect, hit the portal, the Illini were ready to pounce.

@espn He can go play in the NCAA tournament now.

@TheDunkCentral People are acting as if this is a victimless crime. Young people coming out of high school are getting hurt. Fact… he is not good enough then (nor now) to be a NBA player.

Find a group that don’t quit when it gets hard and you will have a chance. Guys that separate get better the harder it gets.

@CBBonFOX Dusty May should have a one game suspension for these comments. That tradition has nothing to do with the rivalry nor that game!
