Recruiting analysis: The Illini and the Class Of 2011

To reiterate what we have said all along, Illini basketball recruiting in the class of 2011 is going to be just fine. It is already off to a great start as two commitments are already in the fold--6'1 point guard Tracy Abrams from Mt. Carmel High School in Chicago and 6'9 Nnanna Egwu from St. Ignatius College Prep in Chicago, with assistant coach Jerrance Howard being the driving force behind enabling the Illini to close the deal on both of them. While others are still calling Egwu a project (have they seen him play recently?), we firmly believe that he will ultimately prove to be just as valuable a member of the Illini's 2011 recruiting class as Abrams or anyone else for that matter.
