The same group the wrapped up day one of Camp Rantoul started day two, as the Orange team worked out Tuesday morning. They went through a similar routine as on Monday, with individual position drills, 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 work.

The Illini opened the 2012 version of Camp Rantoul Monday morning, with the first session of a split-squad practice on the grounds of the former Chanute Air Force Base. The morning session was for the "Blue" team, which consisted of first-stringers and fourth-stringers. The "Orange" squad will be the second- and third-string players and they will practice at 4:45 p.m. Monday.
Three of the six former Fighting Illini standouts have begun competition
in London. Basketball players Deron Williams (USA) and Robert Archibald

London, while former soccer star Emily Zurrer (Canada) had her second
Olympic games cut short due to a hamstring injury. The three Illini
track and field competitors will begin action soon, starting with USA
discus thrower Gia Lewis-Smallwood on Friday, Aug. 3.

As I sit in my room at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place in Chicago, I
can't believe it's already here. Big Ten Football Media Days are upon us,
which means the 2012 season is right around the corner. It seems like
just yesterday the Illini were celebrating with the Kraft Fight Hunger
Bowl trophy in San Francisco. Now here we are in the Windy City with
summer already a distant memory (at least that how it feels for an SID).
