First; lets look at the fact: he made he freshman All-big ten, had a good season after some shaky games early - which is expected. With strength and feeling out his 6'4 inch frame - he will be even deadlier. Brad Underwood is just scratching his peek with better players too, consider what he did with Stephen F. Austin and Oklahoma State before coming to a team that needed structure and development and changing the culture. Bringing back this team to prominence will take patience but PRIDE IN ESTABLISHING IT, and Brad- Orlando Antiqua and Ron Coleman are the backbone in getting it done. Believe me, 1. Aaron Jordan stayed amidst changing coaches - 2). Trent Frazier and Dwill/ Ayo -Alan Griffin fit the style that Underwood is installing in this young core of similar but good talents at both ends of the floor.Many people judge the wrong way, because you think Illinois is suppose to automatically be there but they had transfers as most teams and brought in a young Ayo, Georgi, Tevian and Samba. Another key is while Ayo had to work himself in the offseason- he clearly did a great job in executing during a touch learning period and adjusting to college life/EDUCATION in general. I believe his game will grow well -especially with Kofi Cockburn and Antwan January with this hungry group of fighting illini ballers. Ayo reach deep inside in yourself and say when I signed did I sign for just 1 season or did I sign to DEVELOP AS A BALLER, LEARN MORE AND EDUCATE MYSELF AND INCREASE MY OPPORUTUNITIES WITH A GREAT BUNCH OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Who will always be there with LOVE AND RESPECT.

He’s got a lot of potential
It would be great if he had more help
