Why do you say this?

Did his parents and AAU program probably try to influence him to stay in-state? Sure, they definitely were pro-Illini. But he definitely seemed like he made a choice that made him happy, not a reluctant decision.

Sarcasm mixed with a few perceived truths. "Smart Wake fans"...Come on bro, you can catch that sarcasm.

I don't even get it - are we supposed to call the conference the B-One-G now? They're not the Big 10 anymore? Or are they still called the Big 10, but on paper it's supposed to be written like B1G. I don't even fucking know. Some idiot consultant came up with this and here we are stuck with something stupid. Glad it's not my conference.
 
yeah that article validates what I'm saying. The kid was either going to let down his parents or go to Illinois. Both sound like letdowns to me.
 
So they plan to rebuild the Chicago to Champaign pipeline in one season, two tops ? But only with players they like ?

he didn't look super thrilled when he came out wearing that Illinois polo. just kinda had a resigned look on his face.
 
LOL his goal is to be 1 and done. How many more games do his parents expect to see? Also, going to be very awkward when they insist on him playing for the Bulls.
 
I wonder if this THT thing is Ayo looking for a reason to not go to Ill?

Give me a break man! What about the Ayo situation sends that vibe? You act like he had no draws to Illinois at all. It wasn't all pressure from others. Ayo said himself he wants to get Illinois back to being a premier team in the B1G, and the country.

Wow, I feel sad for Ayo after reading that.

Right. I'd take him in a heartbeat if the rumor was true (don't believe it's as bad as some want it to be. He'll show up at illinois). He could use a little time out from under his parents wings before he makes the leap.
