June 15, 200520 yr We all new it was coming http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines
June 15, 200520 yr Yup, we all did know this was coming. Ultimately, things happen for a reason. I really think this is the place Dee needed to be this year. It's your show now, baby.
June 15, 200520 yr Hopefully playing one more college year will help Brown become a higher pick in the draft next year.
June 15, 200520 yr Good to hear. I'm glad he's returning. But the team won't be the same at all next year. We lost so much of our great roster.
June 15, 200520 yr Really it was his only move. With the injury he wasn't going to get drafted. The best he could hope for was to play himself on to a team.
June 15, 200520 yr QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) story changed. new title: but i still think he will withdraw. he's an idiot if not...
June 15, 200520 yr Trust me, Dee is looking for any and every possible way to stay in the draft. By far, his last option is to return to the Illini and play without his buddies Luther and Deron. Besides what you read in the paper, I know for a fact that Dee's not exactly a fan of Bruce Weber.

Besides what you read in the paper, I know for a fact that Dee's not exactly a fan of Bruce Weber. and how would you know this, from what ive seen and here is that Dee is a very nice guy and didnt seem to have any problems with anyone and told Weber to take him out of games b4 Luther. Just want to know how you know for a fact that Dee actually doesnt like Weber.

My brother was in quite a few classes with Dee last semester, and they talked about stuff when doing group projects. As it goes without saying, Dee's not the perfect angel that a lot of Illini fans make him out to be. Dee wants the money NOW!
June 15, 200520 yr He probably finds it hard that all his boys(Deron, Luther, Powell) are leaving him at Illinois. Those are his roaddogs. He probably feels left behind and cope that with the money and probably a better chance of winning an NBA championship than an NCAA title, he wants to be gone. I still see him staying, but he's just going to wait until the last hour to say so.

This could be the deepest draft in years and he was already probably a 2nd rounder and with the injury will fall ever further...
June 16, 200520 yr Dee is pissed at Bruce because he wasn't campaigning for him for the draft as much as Dee wanted.

This could be the deepest draft in years and he was already probably a 2nd rounder and with the injury will fall ever further... What's the guarantee he'll make more money next year? He was Big Ten player of the year, he played in the championship game, he can go to Europe and make big money if the draft doesn't work out for him. He should turn pro.
June 16, 200520 yr Playing in Europe would be pretty lame, and i don't think that's what he wants. What hasn't he proved? That's easy - that he can play the point. That is the main thing he has to prove next year...and then someone will for sure draft him and show him some money.
June 16, 200520 yr Boers & Bernstein said on the Score that Bruce Weber hung up on Jon Scheyer when he called to tell him he was going to Duke...

If that's true, it pretty much confirms a lot of things I've heard about Weber. There's a big reason why top recruits don't like him too much.
June 17, 200520 yr Haha, that's funny. He needs to get better recruiters here though if he can't do it on his own.
June 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(orangekrush88 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 01:41 PM) Awesome news. We needed him back, he needed to be back here. He is going to help out this team tremendously.
June 20, 200520 yr this is good illini didn't stand a chance without him, with him what do you guys predict their record to be and how far do u think they can go?
