I don't see it, he is being quiet, but I think he wants the attention, the mystery, etc. He comes back imo. He is in the late 50 range, he can get more at Illinois and play with his boys one more year as well.

And a game vs UConn at the United Center.

The date is set for one of the premier non-conference games of the 2026-27 college basketball season, as reigning Final Four teams Illinois and UConn will meet on Friday, Dec. 4, at the United Center in Chicago.

Love the idea of UNC on a neutral. UCONN I could go several years without playing.
