CHAMPAIGN — The Illinois women's basketball team had its own big recruiting weekend in late September at the same time the men's program was hosting three top 50 players. Second-year Illini women's coach Nancy Fahey, though, is the first one to see that weekend pay dividends.
Jeanae Terry, a 5-foot-10 guard out of Wayne, Mich., announced her commitment to Illinois late Thursday night. She picked the Illini out of a final five that also included Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Rutgers and Miami.
"I would like to thank all of the college coaches who recruited me; I appeciate your support," Terry's Twitter note read.
