Illinois in Kendrick Nunn's final five

"He wants to experience the recruiting process," says Melvin Nunn of his son, who has been busy all summer playing with not only his high school and Meanstreets AAU team but also the U.S. National Team. "It's a big decision. He will take his time, set up some visits and narrow it down to two or three schools."

Kendrick Nunn, who helped lead Simeon to a state championship the past two seasons, will be looking at four main criteria, according to Melvin Nunn:

1) The make-up of the roster.
2) The relationship with the coaching staff.
3) The team's style of play.
4) A program that is going to win.
