Breaking down the Chicago area prospects

Henricksen on Henry: "Huge recruiting coup for Illinois as he fits a definite need--a big-time perimeter shooter with size and length. Underrated nationally and off-the-charts character kid."

Snow on Abrams: "The kid is an absolute warrior on the floor. Illinois fans should love watching him in Champaign for years to come."

Snow on Shaw: "He is one of the better rebounders in the class."

Henricksen on Egwu: "He's come a long way in a short time and still has a high ceiling."
