In case you missed yesterday's news, John Groce and the Fighting Illini have officially re-entered the recruitment of four-star point guard Charlie Moore (Chicago, IL). The 2016 Illinois 'Mr. Basketball' took to Twitter on Wednesday night to announce his top eight schools and he's included the Illini along with SMU, LSU, Miami (FL), California, Georgia Tech, Western Kentucky, and UNLV.

Moore originally gave a verbal commitment to Memphis last Fall, but he was granted a release from his letter of intent after Georgia Tech hired away former Tigers coach Josh Pastner.
