Did we get a commit today?

I think a CB A'KEITHEON WHITNER. I know nothing about him, but I got an email update saying we have commitment and it is him on 5-6-15.
I see we offered, but I do not see a commit as yet. I found this, fyi http://ea365sports.com/akeitheonwhitner.htm

Really a fan of the potential he shows on tape. Kid is FAST, has some problems turning at the hips like the link on ea365 above mentions though. Watch the second play of the tape, he gets completely lost for a while and then comes back to lay the lumber. Physical, fast, and has good ball skills. He just needs some work in man coverage, but he could be a good free safety and has the skill set to evolve into a good D1 corner. I hope he did commit like everyone is hearing.

According to scout jc he committed watched his film think he's got potential. Anyone else on eastern Arizona we are interested in?
Let's all start practicing calling him A'Keitheon Hitner.

No connection to Illinois that I'm aware of, but what an incredible name. I will be very interested to see where he ends up.

Hi fellow Illini!
I am new to this board but have been reading for quite some time. I am more a football fan than basketball, but love both sports.
Looks like we get off to a good start this recruiting season. Any ideas on who might be next to commit? (not counting the kid who committed the other day, but may have jumped the gun)

Yep maybe a little to quick on the draw there. Did you notice in the same summary of JC recruiting that there is a WR from Dodge City named Jeff George? How about picking this kid up.....could be a Jeff George II to Jeff George connection someday.
anyone who can comment on that doesnt know, and those who do know
cant comment
