Just hours before the opening tip of the season, junior forward Ty Rodgers has announced he will redshirt for the 2024-25 season. It was first reported by Jeremy Werner of the Illini Inquirer.
Rodgers was one of just two returning Illini, highlighting a brand-new roster heading into the year. Rodgers didn’t have a huge role in the exhibition at Ole Miss earlier this year and reportedly met with head coach Brad Underwood to announce his intentions of taking the year off.
The rest of the roster is a full go for Monday’s opener against Eastern Illinois, as they begin their defense of last year’s Elite Eight run.
