So, I googled Connor Powers...

[Hump4Hoops]

out of boredom, and I read this little message board snipit from our recruiting of him, and openly wept.

Connor Powers going to the #1 ranked Miss.St?

to Miss.State last weekend. Is this true? A Illinois player playing for
a power house like that,that's like O'connor going to Florida ST. or
Gawenda going to Miami. What other Illinois player's went to top rated
program's?,past or present.</div>

didn't want Conner because he had weight issues in high school, despite his records that he was setting in Illinois. A lot of people forget that he lost a good bit of weight before his senior year. His other top offer was from Illinois State, I believe.
