Weber Lands D.J. Richardson and Brandon Paul (and Joseph Bertrand! ) on Eve of Illini Madness
October 11, 2007 8:15 PM
Update: Add
Joseph Bertrand to the mix!
What's this, good news on the basketball recruiting front? Bruce Weber received
oral commits today from two of the top players in the 2009 class,
D.J. Richardson and Brandon Paul. The news should amp up the excitement surrounding
tomorrow's Illini Madness, the official start of the 2007-08 Illinois basketball season.
A special pink Illini shirt is required to attend Illini Madness, which will be used to
raise funds and awareness for the fight against cancer. Sales of the shirts have
reached 15,000.
The pink Illini Madness shirts can be purchased at Gameday Spirit or on the west side of
Assembly Hall tomorrow night.
