Always a big deal to get high-caliber talent on campus. Looking forward to reports on the visit.

Great news. We have to land this one. This would be the real program changer.

GO COLLINS GO CATS

Nojel Eastern would be very nice complement to Smith. But, 247 has him a strong Illini lean over Michigan State with Seton Hall and Purdue the other contenders. We seem to be out of it, according to 247. Knowing Collins though, I imagine he isn't giving up on the kid in his back yard.

A historical run this season would help immensely, beginning with knocking off #1 Carolina in the non-conf tourney.

247 had zero chance of Benson going to NU.

Eastern doesn't even have an NU offer as yet.

How could Illinois be on ANYONE'S list right now? I know the issues with the athletic department don't involve the basketball program, but it's pretty obvious change is on the horizon.

And Seton Hall??!?! There's either a problem with 247's list or there's something funky in his recruiting process.
