Recruiting: Illinois Gets Its Man - Ty Rodgers Will Wear Orange and Blue
Illinois made it clear this year that it wanted two outstanding guards in the class of 2022 and one dominant wing. Both guards signed are four-star recruits: Sencire Harris is a 6-foot-3, 160-pound combo guard from Akron, Ohio, and Jayden Epps is a 6-foot-1, 170-pound point guard from Suffolk, Virginia.
Now add Ty Rodgers, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound small forward originally from Grand Blanc, Michigan, who recently transferred to Thornton High School in Harvey, Illinois.

Sturdy's Takeaway - 8 Minutes of Futility
With 8:28 to play, the Illini had an 8-point lead and looked in control on the road at Marquette. Fans watched the collapse live or on TV and were shocked as the Illini fell to Marquette 67-66. Some said Illinois didn't run any offense down the stretch. They did, but didn't execute. Some felt Illinois didn't let Trent Frazier run the point. They did, that didn't work either. Here's a breakdown of each possession in the final 8:28, where the Illini offense had 1 free throw and no field goals in the final 5:36.
10th ranked Illini give victory to Marquette, 67-66
