CHAMPAIGN — Good news for Illinois football: East St. Louis coach Darren Sunkett and his staff are in town this weekend for the Illinois High School Football Coaches Asssociation clinic.

Always great to see the Flyers.

Even better news for the Illini: Sunkett is coming back next weekend with some of his top players.

Defensive back Antonio Johnson (the state's No. 1-rated prospect), athlete Lawaun Powell, quarterback Tyler Macon and receiver Keontez Lewis will make unofficial visits to the Illinois campus. Johnson and Powell have scholarship offers from Illinois.

"They'll get a feel for Champaign," Sunkett said.
