For them to make any noise in the Big Ten Jamar Smith and Brian Randle are both going to need to get and stay healthy. Also Carter needs to continue the way he is playing and Pruitt needs to demand the ball more often. It would be nice to see Rich McBride contribute moreso too but after seeing him a few games im not counting on it.
this illini team at full strength will suprise people, but if jamar and randle can't get fully healthy, they'll have their fair share of problems.
The way they've played through all of the injuries already has shown alot of people that the younger guys on this team can contribute, they just need a few leaders out there.
