Bluedude Sportstalk SPORTS SHORTS Take 206...ILLINOIS had 59 Players in the NCAA Tournament not playing for ILLINI...Will RAAB sign with CAL and bring BROWN and SWANIGAN with?

The Illinois Fighting Illini just in then last five to seven years has put out players like Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis, Jabari Parker, Jahlil Okafor, and Cliff Alexander to name a few. What does all this mean...well they did not attend the University of Illinois.

Memphis, Kentucky, Duke x 2, and Kansas grabbed the above players than in the 2015 NCAA Tournament the State of Illinois had 59 players playing in it and Illinois didn't make the tourney. What is going on with Illinois not keeping it's top players in the state let alone the All-Staters and Top 150 Kids?

AAU has exposed Kids to seeing other parts of the U.S. and they just want to get away. Throw in Illinois' Facilities are not the best not even in the Big 10 you have some holes other schools can fill quickly.

Other top players in the 2015 NCAA's Fred Van Vleet (Wichita State), Tyler Ulis (Kentucky), Frank Kaminsky (Wisconsin), Paul White (Georgetown) and many more. C'mon Illini you have to do it better than that...

Top 10 in the Class of 2015 Ivan Raab has to decide between Cal or Arizona  and he is trying to grab Jaylen Brown and Caleb Swanigan with him. Cal Coach Counzo Martin has to have the edge for Raab's Services as appears he wants to stay home. Brown has recently admitted UK has the best program.

Rabb Business is front and center and we shall see how the dominoes fall...
