I was watching a hoops game the other day and the announcers were talking up how Illinois was going to be bringing in a monster class.
First, Quentin Snider switched his commitment from Illinois to Louisville. Oh no's!
That was a tough loss.
But they still were going to get Cliff Alexander, a consensus Top 5 recruit this year. Right? Everyone said he was an Illinois lock.
Then this happened:
Ouch! Not that I'm an Illinois fan or anything, but as a fan and recruiting nut, I feel their pain.
