David Oku and Ronnie Wingo

It looks like Illinois will go down to the wire with both David Oku and Ronnie Wingo. Look at their list of schools and you will see that Illinois is again in good company. Credit Ron Zook, Reggie Mitchell, Mike Locksley and the rest for continuing to seek the best.
There's a belief out there that if you get Oku, you can't get Wingo. And vice versa. I don't buy it. They are different players in size and style. And who knows what happens when they get to college. Maybe one of them finds a position that works better than running back. You never know.
The addition of Nathan Scheelhaase helped the Illini with Wingo. The two are friends and you can bet the quarterback will try to talk the running back into joining him.
