How did this decision not get caught up in a bunch of bureaucracy? Thank you Josh. This makes a lot of people happy!

Does anyone think that this is a message to the NBA, prior to the draft, that we fully endorse TSJ? Seems like it to me.

as jacked up as I am about this decision, to answer your question, I think no the NBA doesn't care about this

To me if they want to add new criteria to justify the addition- getting drafted in the first round or winning University of Illinois Athlete of the Year are a couple possibilities. (Yes, I am expecting him to be a first rounder.)

Great decision. I have been watching ILLINI basketball since the early 80's and this last year was one of the best seasons I have seen from an Illini player. Well deserving.

We better enjoy Whitman while we can.

I hate it, but I think a pro league or commissioner position is coming sooner than later.

Thank you for listening, Josh. Maybe now Terrence can actually feel the tremendous appreciation that Illini Nation feels for him.

He's right there with Deron, Frankie and Eddie, Harp, Nick, Kenny, Kendall, and some others that I am probably missing, but no one is better than him in my opinion. Could argue he is the best in my era [since the 1980s], but I can't quite get there. Lucas Johnson is a very close second
