Details are sketchy, but it is confirmed that Illinois LB Martez Wilson is at Carle Hospital due to a late night incident at FuBar in Champaign. Word on the street is that he was knifed during a scuffle, but due to recover.
While I don't like separating out athletes from students, it amazes me how much trouble our athletes are getting into over the past couple of years. You can blame the coaches, the environment, the pressure, but it comes down to the individual putting themselves in a compromising position.
I do hope that Martez gets better and learns from this, but I don't know the full story.
Best Wishes and Go Illini!
