Illinois-Ohio State breakdown

In describing their relationship, McCamey and Turner used the same word: brother. "It's more like a brother-type thing," Turner said. McCamey added, "He's pretty much like my brother." Theirs is a friendship that goes back a decade, both said. "We were like 11 years old," Turner said. McCamey added, "We've been growing up together since sixth, seventh grade." Later, they were teammates at Westchester St. Joseph and with Illinois Wolves. The latter was a club-circuit juggernaut, going 86-13 while playing at the U17 level for two seasons, Illinois Wolves director Mike Mullins said. Those Wolves had up to nine Division I players on the roster. Pingatore and Mullins said they will be in attendance.
