Henricksen on Nnanna Egwu

Recent St. Ignatius graduate Nnanna Egwu, who is a freshman at Illinois, would rate among the top big men in the last 20 years in the eyes of the City/Suburban Hoops Report. The Hoops Report had Egwu as the No. 3 prospect in the loaded Class of 2011. But the national recruiting services severely missed on this one. Thus, Egwu was not a "consensus top 50 player nationally" as the barometer for this story. He ended up No. 97 nationally by Rivals.com, No. 69 by ESPN.com and No. 67 by Scout.com.
