Poll: Illini Basketball will improve next season

To date my polling of Illini fans shows they are optimistic about next season, particularly with the return of Jamar Smith, and adding players like Stan Simpson, Alex Legion and Dominique Keller to the team. I was personally concerned about rebounding without Pruitt and Randle, but Keller should help in that area with his size and JC experience. I also think Rodney Alexander will really step up next season and play more consistently than this season. Results of the polling thus far:

Better than current season 82%
Same as current season 12%
Worse than current season 6%

Why do Juco's sign at 6'7" and step on campus at 6'5"?

Maybe the medical staff at Illinois is measuring them in bare feet? And the rest of the basketball world measures them in their shoes?

(Note to Scott: If you recall the Henson years, they used to list the players at least 2 inches taller in the Illini program consistently...maybe old habits die hard.)
