Wow, that was quick. Maybe this will get the ball rolling again as it has been quiet on the recruiting front and I think fans like me are chomping at the bit for good news in regards to recruiting.

Maverick? Sounds dangerous. Total wild card plays by the seat of his pants.

Rivals has him at PF while Scout and ESPN say Center. Any idea which he'll play? And maybe this will get the ball rolling on a few other commits.

A thick, strong, 6'11" low post scorer is definitely a piece we need.
We have guys that tall, and guys that strong, and guys that skilled, but in all different bodies. I like that he combines them all into one. Should at the very least be a solid rotation big man for us in the vein of a Colton Iverson. Upside of being a go-to scorer in the low post. |

Well, I guess he liked his first stop on his B1G tour (sorry Wisky and Minny).
Welcome Maverick and family to the Illini!

Well, this a morning surprise. They must have been all over him and he must have been just waiting for an offer because it did not take long at all for him to commit.
I don't know much about this kid. Anyone have some good background info? Ranking? Additional stats? __________________ C-U/UIUC Historian and Lover of all Things Illini |

Who was our last recruit out of Ohio? Nice to see us going out of state for a quality big man.

3/3 close rate for Groce so far. Does a great job of closing the deal when he gets them on campus.
