No big surprise, but now it's semi-official (still needs to be ratified by the conference presidents and the NCAA). :rockon:

Quotes from DLill:
"Once I got hurt, I knew when I came back there would be a lot of people that would doubt me, like, 'He hurt his foot, maybe he won't be the same.' I just put that thought in my head to light a fire under myself so I would come out and really go hard, get better every day. The fact that I challenged myself with that thought, even if it wasn't true, that was big for me."
"It would mean a lot, especially with my future. Obviously, it's every basketball player's dream to play in the NBA. With an extra year of eligibility, I feel like it just enhances my chances of making that dream come true. Not only that, it gives me more time to develop my game, help Weber State more, help out coach (Randy) Rahe and my teammates. I'm really excited about just being around here an extra year now."
