Big night, big names for Illini Madness

And although it may not be official just yet, Illinois is likely to be opening the door for a big-named, out-of-state guard prospect in the Class of 2013. Again, an opportunity to get a top 20 talent in the sophomore class on campus is another boon to the recruiting fortunes of Illinois.

The stars have aligned for Weber and the Illini as this is an opportune time to shine the spotlight on the basketball program.
