Brother Rice has been good to the Birds in the past (Rico Hill and Vince Greene).

So Drake has gotten a top 20 kid and a top 10 kid in Illinois in the past week? That’s pretty good for Drake.

Were we not trying to get these kids to ISU (serious question)?

Don't know about Yesufu, but it doesn't appear we were. I believe we showed interest in Ferguson early, but with Fisher, Ndiaye, Bruninga, Idowu, and probably Chastain filling up the 3+,4, and 5 I doubt we continued showing any interest. If Dan's going for another big, it should really be a big and not another tall, skinny kid who can shoot. IMO

Noble Crawford, West Oaks Academy

West Oaks head coach Kenny Gillion continues to keep the tradition of gritty, tenacious guard play intact with the addition of the incoming senior guard. At 6-foot-5, Crawford is an athletic guard who can really create his own shot. His quickness and chock full of one on one moves tend to leave defenders guessing.

Crawford, who averaged 16 PPG last season, will help cushion the loss of recently graduated guards P.J. Person and Tyrieke Blakeney.

Looks like we offered ... assuming we are Illinoise

Didn't make his top 10. Another situation where he blew up after we offered.
