clyons Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 15, 2015 -> 11:27 AM) PG Te'Jon Lucas announcing tomorrow. Down to Illinois, USC, and Old Dominion. He was scheduled to visit C-U this weekend, so the timing doesn't seem to bode well for Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he is a stud but a nice piece, and really getting a PG is a must at this point. Get the stud in 2017 and I'll be ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Well, they get good recruits all the time. Really just a matter of getting a pg. That I have little confidence in, though this kid's offer sheet isn't great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 He's really young for his class, like Malcolm Hill. I believe he's now just turning 17. Also, Cal & Wisconsin came late he said but that Illinois is the right fit for him. Late riser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Nothing official yet, but it looks like 4 star SF Xavier Sneed is announcing September 28th. Illinois is among the top choices and would be a good get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's looking to be a starter from the get go then he isn't coming to Illinois. I don't think he's looking for what from what I have read about him. He really doesn't shoot the ball that well, but he is a good finisher below the rim, and is supposedly an elite defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
