Is Bruce Weber Finally Learning How to Talk to the Media?

Rodney Alexander is leaving the men'sbasketball team (another Juco transfer that didn't pan out). Unlike his comments about Brian Carlwell that threw him under the bus, Bruce kept his comments neutral this time.

"In our individual meetings at the conclusion of the season, Rodney
indicated that he was unsure about his future at Illinois," Weber said. "After
taking some time and discussing his situation further, we have mutually agreed
that it is in his best interest to pursue an opportunity at another institution.
We thank him for his effort here and wish him the best with his remaining
education and basketball career."

Hey it's progress!
