Kendall Lewis (22) and Ryan Schmitt (50) are among six scholarship holdovers from Illinois State's basketball team getting to know their new teammates and coaching staff this summer.
PANTAGRAPH FILE PHOTONORMAL — Point guard Darius Burford is among six transfers brought in by new Illinois State head basketball coach Ryan Pedon and his staff. They're joining six scholarship players who stuck around from last season.
The start of summer school this week brought everyone together for the first time. Happily, Burford said name tags weren't really necessary.
"I feel like we've already starting the bonding process and we're almost there," said Burford, a Bolingbrook native who transferred from Elon.
