“Ayo is part of the foundation of this program. We’ll forever be grateful to him for sharing in our vision as a high school recruit, and the contributions he’s made over the last two years to lead Illinois Basketball back to national prominence. Ayo epitomizes our culture with his work ethic and the way he handles himself on and off the court. We will support him to the fullest extent as he goes through this process. There are many uncertainties in the game of basketball right now, but I do know this; Ayo Dosunmu is forever a proud Fighting Illini.
