Recruits at the Gonzaga game

As usual with the annual United Center game, there was a lot of Illini recruiting love behind the team's bench and the scorer's table. Junior guard Chasson Randle (Rock Island) even wore a gray Illinois pullover. You could see him on several TV shots sitting behind Weber and the coaches. I thought I saw Simeon uber-freshman Jabari Parker in the house as well as De La Salle junior forward Mike Shaw. Nice pair of untied Air Jordans on Parker.
