Bag chasin. If I’m a coach, I want NOTHING to do with a kid like this. This dude will get you beat. - Ayo Dosunmu made it cool to go to Illinois again Kofi Cockburn showed you could win a Big Ten title at Illinois Terrence Shannon proved you could make a deep tournament run at Illinois And now Illinois is getting five stars again W-ILL
- Chase Brown is the first running back in Big Ten history to rush for 1600+ yards and lead the Big Ten in rushing and not be named First Team All Big Ten There were 28 other occurrences and each running back was a first team selection Make it make sense

- Coleman Hawkins is the first player to commit to Brad Underwood and play at Illinois for 4 years Bleeds orange and blue Illini for life
