Seems to be shoe in for player of game. Could this possibly be a negative for us in terms of interest by better caliber/further along programs that might not have the academic standard UI has? Happy to see the young man play exceptionally well in just about the biggest showcase for high school talent, but on a selfish note, I feel like this is a negative for Lovie and Co.
I don't think Illinois' admissions will play a part. Clearinghouse will be the problem and schools have no sway over that. If he gets by the clearinghouse, I have no doubt Lovie and Josh will do whatever they can to get him into Illinois and rightfully so. This kid is the real deal and can be the gamechanger we have lacked for a while.
