Non-conference thoughts

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Truman State for the exhibition on October 23 and UIS replaces Purdue-NW and will be at Redbird on Friday, November 29 at 2 p.m.

Ilijah Donnelly will get a crack at his old team.

I read this and thought wow Peyton Allen will finally play a game in a mvc arena. Checked their roster and he is no longer on it. Looking back I am glad he ditched us for Texas a&m then Wichita.

IIRC, he had some personal problems. Death in the family or something like that, that really messed with him mentally. Might not be 100% correctly but I know a buddy of mine in Spfld knew for a fact that there was a tragedy in his life that really side tracked him athletically.
