CHAMPAIGN — Trent Frazier is Illinois' top returning scorer. Ayo Dosunmu is the prized five-star recruit. But junior college transfer guard Andres Feliz is easily just as important in the Illini backcourt.
Just ask Illinois coach Brad Underwood.
"He's got an old man's game, and he's got an understanding that goes beyond his years in terms of leadership," Underwood said. "He's vocal. He always asks the right questions. He's comforting for a coach. He's got the right pace about him. He's got the right demenaor about him, and he never gets too rattled. Then defensively, he can be a pitbull.
