Cain's description of his style of play - he said he's "tough," "high-motor" and "high-energy" - seems to fit the bill of an immediate Illini need. Playing time likely will be an important factor in Cain's decision.
"I could come to Illinois and probably get 15 minutes," Cain said, "but would I happy with getting 15 minutes after being a post graduate? That's why I have to weigh my options."

Illinois is especially enticing to Cain because it's his home-state school and the team he grew up watching. He also has been waiting for the Illini to make an offer to him for some time.
"Growing up in Illinois, I always saw Illinois on TV," said Cain, who played AAU with Larry Butler's Illinois Warriors. "To be recruited by Illinois, that's really big for me. I've been recruited by every Division I school in Illinois except for Illinois. Man, I worked so hard. They finally recognized me as a good player."
