Ayo is pretty open on social media, especially on YouTube for a while now. He posted a video today and you can't help but notice the message is about how well his rehab has been going. I found it pretty interesting to watch and I expect Illini fans will likely feel the same.
I-L-L...

Really glad the org kept him, one of my favorite players. Despite it making no sense roster-wise.

I love Ayo's work ethic. He's really bulked up his upper body.
There's good and bad to that. He'll definitely be better able to absorb contact. That said, he doesn't look as quick as he did as a rookie, and defensively, that was his strength. Also, his shooting form seems stiff. That said x2, I'm rooting for him to be great with us!

Yeah that shooting form in Marion-esque. That being said, the Matrix is in the HOF of roleplayers.
