Ty Rodgers is inching closer to returning for Illinois basketball, and that could be a game-changer for the Illini’s season. Coach Brad Underwood says Rodgers is making real progress in his knee rehab—he’s already jogging and shooting, just not doing explosive moves yet. The vibe around the team is finally optimistic after months of injury setbacks. If Rodgers gets back on the court, Illinois might reach a whole new level. But with the team’s recent injury luck, fans are cautiously hopeful. What do you think—should Illinois push for his return or play it safe? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #TyRodgers
