Marcus Landry on the other hand, is really progressing. I'm excited about watching him light up the Big Ten next year. He's really improving his game away from the basket, the shot look ten times better than it used to, and his post offense is looking great in the Big Ten Tournament too. I'm worried about what the loss of Butch, Steimsma, and Flowers will mean to the team, but at the same time I'm excited about the future.

Now, if we can just lock up Jamil Wilson and Jeronne Maymon. Please, please, please!!

EDIT: Johnnie Lacy too, if you don't mind Bo. Don't give these guys on a silver platter to Crean.
