Watching former Illini stars like Morez Johnson Jr., Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn, Carey Booth, and Tre White absolutely thrive at their new schools is both bittersweet and impressive. Johnson is dominating for Michigan with top Big Ten stats, Gibbs-Lawhorn is dropping 30+ for UNLV, Booth is a force at Colorado State, and White is a rebounding machine with a killer three-point shot at Kansas. It’s wild how these guys have leveled up after leaving Illinois. Does this say more about the transfer portal era, or is it a sign Illinois is great at developing talent—even if it doesn’t always stay? #Sports #Illini #CollegeBasketball
