Here is some individ. scoring and notes from the college division of IL's
Prairie State games, held 7/10-7/11 in Champaign.
.
COLLEGIATE DIVISION-  competition by 8 regional teams.
.
.      Individual scoring  =   #/#/#.   (3 games)
.
.
DePaul's Tom Kleinschmidt -  15/29/23 (2-3's). His team won the
.    open (collegiate) championship, he's a former IL h.s. POY. He scored from
.    outside, with strong drives and with a nice lean-injumper that drew fouls
.    A good rebounder and a better defender than I expected.  Anticipated
.    passes well and stepped out to snag them.
.
Northern Iowa's Cedric McCullough.   9/10/20

Iowa's  James Winter did not show.
.
Illinois State's  Thomas Hunter 11/17/15  6-6" 235#
.                 Barry Johnson     13
.                 Scott Taylor   19/?/?
.      The Redbird squad is traveling to Europe Aug. 1 for a tour of England
.       /Holland & Belgium.
.
U of Illinois-Chicago   Sherrell Ford.  15/?/36 (2-3's)  P.Forward.
.       After sitting out as prop 48, this guy looks ready to
.       become a force.  Was anxious in his first game but soon
.       found his range.  V. strong and athletic.
.
Purdue  Kenny Williams
.        After a redshirt year due to B10 Juco restrictings, Williams is
.        now eligible.  But there were two Williams (Kenny&Murl) on the
.        "Windy City" roster, so I give scores of both players without
.        distinguishing.
.
.        Perhaps Boiler fans can clear this up.  Also, do they think he'll
.        contribute, or is he Cornelius McNary's backup?
.
.               Williams#1  20 (2-3s)/?/?
.               Williams#2   4/?/?       one williams had 5 in the last
.                                       game, the other didn't score.
.
Northern Illinois  Mark Layton  20/22/?
.
Southern Illinois' Chad Altadonna  9/?/16  His team defeated by Kleinschmidt's
.        in championship. Altadonna hit a 3 to send it to overtime. He has
.        a nice stroke but lacks the moves to free himself.
.
.    former Southern guard Tyrone Bell  2/8/32/8/3

S. IL JUCO-  Randy Stewart  ?/8/20  A quick jumping small forward who caught
.        collegiate coachs' attention with his athletic ability and
.        intensity.
.
Illinois' M. Davidson, Rennie Clemmons, Brooks Taylor did not show.
.
Illinois
.
.      Robert Bennett  (6-6")   20 (2-3's)/12 (8Rbs)/ 7
.         Good board man, shot comes and goes, still awful at the foul line
.      Deon Thomas    (6-8")    30/24/--
.         Has gained upperbody muscle, lifting 4x/week with Bennet (its
.         about time D.T. got serious).  Scoring mostly dunks and low post
.         moves.  Put the ball on floor, but doesn't look comfortable yet
.         (or very effective) doing so.
.      T.J. Wheeler    (6-4 guard)  7/2/18
.         Reached championship game with Michael. Not flashy, did a fair
.         job slowing Kleinschmidt down.
.     Tom Michael  (6-8" forward)  11/10/10
.         Steady play with limited minutes.  B10 leader in 3 pt. %, but
.         few moves.  Surprised defenders (and me) a few times by
.         driving.  Still passes to the ankles of teammates.
.      Andy Kauffman (6-6" small forward)   5/7/33 (2-3's & 15/16 fts.)
.         Sat out last season to retain a full season's eligibility
.         after going academic AWOL. Has lost 10 # and at 215 #
.         looks better.  Needs to score in anthropology this
.         summer to regain eligiblity.  Teammates needn't
.         worry about getting passes from him, bad or otherwise.
.      Davin Harris  (5-8" guard)  16/10 (2-3's)/ 12  .  A walkon Juco
.         point guard who practiced with the Illini last season. Ran his
.         team well.  Quick, small and slender, although he is said to
.         have put on 15# since last year.  I hope his efforts and
.         dedication are rewarded with some playing time next season.
