He was living with Fess Hawkins, who was only there for a year, but Illinois fans will remember him.
And Victor Chukudebe lived right down the hall from me.
And I recall vividly, he was a freshman.
I believe I was a sophomore when he came in.
We had that first day of school meeting, and they were like, oh, there's going to be a three-on-three tournament.
And Victor Chukudebe and Fess Hawkins were looking for a third.
That's amazing, man.
And we're like, who are these guys?
And then the next day, we're like, oh, they're the incoming freshmen for the basketball team.
Oh, man.
Yeah, great.
I remember him being a terrific defensive player, if I recall correctly, in Champaign.
He was a little bit more of an offensive player when I believe, I want to get this right, because this will upset my Springfield contingency, but I believe he was a
Landfear guy.
Springfield Landfear, I believe, is where he went.
The other name, too, because this guy was a scorer, old Corey Bradford was a freshman that year.
No, not yet for this team.
No, he was the following year, I believe.
Really?
