According to this article, JaJuan Johnson and "my favorite player" (E'twaun Moore, and that's a reference to an inside joke) all but confirmed that they are coming back next year. If you read my article a few days ago, I wondered if they would. I figured E'twaun would because he seems to be taking his academics very seriously (he was named to the 2nd Academic All-American Team).
This is great news compared to what has happened since last Wednesday night. If Robbie can go full-speed next year and those incoming freshman can have an immediate impact (unlike DJ Byrd), we could be even better than we were this year. However, we will be minus Chris Kramer's defensive tenacity and Keaton Grant's late-season clutch shooting (though I won't miss his errant passes to Bubba Day on the bench).
At least we will have the Big 3 back and that's reason enough to get excited for next season. I haven't given up on us becoming regular season co-champs of the Big Ten but my excitement for March Madness is pretty much gone.
Speaking of E'twaun Moore, besides trying to talk to drunk fans of his at the Where Else? Bar, he's also willing to "break ya neck" because he's "from the Midwest, SON!":
