I just heard from our sole non-guard walk-on candidate:
“Coach Price and I spoke today and he said they are not going to add anyone to the roster at this time. Disappointing, but I can take solace in that I did all I could, and gave myself the best possible shot. Thanks again for taking notice, and go Illini.”
With nothing but mobile, soft-handed bigs on the roster; there was never a need for Matt. But he has the right attitude about it. I’m sure most of us would like to compete with (and hold our own among) a Big Ten team for a month.
