Illinois basketball adds rare midseason help with big commitment

It is not every day the Illinois basketball team can add a commitment and get that player to play right away. On Monday afternoon, the Illini did just that. Jon

Brad must think he's close. But also interesting to see a team bring in a pro player in the middle of the season to help their odds.

Probably more like Karaban coming here early even though he sat out that semester. Illini will get him more ready for next year when he can hit the ground running.

Seems like a redundant piece, need another guard

So, this week/during the season they've lost an international player and brought in another. You'd never have dreamt that just 2 or 3 years ago.

We are a couple of years from players switching in mid-game unless there is regulation.

How about a dude playing for shirts in the first half and skins in the second?

Adding foreign players mid season is a shark jumping moment for college ball. Teams will start stashing foreign players for the second semester like Illinois has done.

I mean, we added Akok Akok and Alex mid season. It's not anything new.

You are correct. I will dismount my Pygmy pony. I guess in general I want college sports to get their stuff together
