Michael Finke gives Leron Black a sales pitch

But no, Finke didn't get a confirmation from the White Station (Tenn.) power forward about his college plans.

"He hurt his foot and didn't play the whole game against us, but I guarded him and thought I played pretty good defense," said Finke, who just completed his last AAU season with the Peoria Irish. "A few times jogging up and down the court I said, 'Come join me at Illinois.' He just smiled and said, 'I'll see.' That's pretty much all that consisted of."
