Michael Orris receives Illini offer

The rise of Crete-Monee's Michael Orris continues. After leading the Warriors to the school's first sectional championship in March, the recruitment of the 6-3 point guard picked up steam and hasn't stopped.

Illinois coach Bruce Weber offered Orris on Thursday as the Fighting Illini look to add a point guard to the mix in the Class of 2012. Senior-to-be Sam Maniscalco, a transfer from Bradley, and incoming freshman Tracy Abrams of Mt. Carmel figure to share the 40 minutes next season, while incoming recruit Devin Langford out of Alabama could also figure into the point guard spot down the road.
