WBBP: recruiting madness

One of the nation's highest-rated eighth-graders - yes, people rate eighth-graders - Alex Foster was one of about 15-20 prospective student-athletes in attendance for The World's Biggest Basketball Practice at Memorial Stadium.

Illinois recruits Brandon Paul (Warren, 2009) and D.J. Richardson (Findlay College Prep, 2009) were on their official visits. Others in attendance included UI recruits Joseph Bertrand (Sterling, 2009), Jereme Richmond (Waukegan, 2010), Crandall Head (Crane, 2010) and Meyers Leonard (Robinson, 2010).

Among the uncommitted prospects in attendance: Chris Colvin (Whitney Young, 2009), Mike Shaw (De La Salle, 2011), Dre Henley (De La Salle, 2011), Tracy Abrams (Mount Carmel, 2011), Wayne Blackshear (Curie, 2011), Chasson Randle (Rock Island, 2011), Bradley Beal (St. Louis Chaminade, 2011) and Travis Britt (Rantoul, 2012).
