legion if the illini start sucking..."oh i'm not comfortable here, i want to transfer to prarie view"

This guy is going to be trouble. Watch this situation closely. Remember that name: Alex Legion.

We have plenty of guards coming in from '09 and '10 classes which means were protected if this guy is trouble. Otherwise welcome home Alex!

This dude is as loyal as Nick Saban... no worries Illini fans.

How many high schools did this kid go to...i know of at least 3 becuase one was in Michigan Counrty Day the other was Oak Hill and i colud of sworn there was another one.

His dad must be telling him to keep swicthing. Illioins is better than Kentucky

I think it was just Country Day and Oak Hill. Say what you want about the kid, but he got the ball more at Oak Hill than he did at Country Day and Oak Hill has a LOT more talent. The DCD coach was spoiled by Shane Battier and felt every star should be unselfish and clutch like him.

Sad we lost this kid but oviousley he has issues off the court

LOL...this is funny

He should have gone to Harvard (where his first coach now works). That way, he might make all-conference.

Gillespie is a joke!!! Why would you want to stay at a school with someone as incompetant as him??? Kentucky should have never hired that goon. If there was any time to abandon ship, why not get out before it gets worse (which it will). Legion is 18, give him a break

Legion, Trent Meachem, Demetri McCamey and Jamar Smith will make up the Illini backcourt next year. It ain't MSU quality, but it ain't bad.

Kevin says "his dad must be telling him to keep swicthing. Illioins is better than Kentucky"

If that were the case, his dad would be an idiot. If this kid continues to be the whiner he seems to be, he and Bruce will get along very nicely. Also, I think you mean his mom. Alex's father has not been a part of his life.

legion is trouble, plus he cried like a baby to come back and when they said no he then cried somemore , bye bye cry-baby 18 or not, my 18 year old don't cry .

Hmm...Gillispie is a joke? I think maybe you should read a little bit more about this guys history before you go making comments as stupid as that. I do believe that he has turned programs around at two schools during his career. You just have to give a guy some time. Nothing is immediate. Nothing is foolproof. Everything is negotiable. As for Legion? He is free to make his own choices. If he chooses to leave Kentucky, the winningest basketball program in the NCAA, and go to Illinois then this is his choice. I just hope that he doesn't regret it later. NO team deserves a player as fickle as he.
