Interesting Development With Michigan Native And Illinois Basketball Player Sitting Out

Ty Rogers, a former four-star recruit from Saginaw, Michigan, averaged 6.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and two assists last season while starting all 38 games for the Illini. However, Rogers, a 6-foot-6 guard/forward, will be sitting out this season:

It would seem likely that Rogers, a former top 60 recruit, would be entering the transfer portal.
