Illinois Basketball: Fallout from EJ Liddell not picking the Illini

One of the top targets for the Illini class of 2019, EJ Liddell, picked the school he is going to attend next season. Illinois fans had high hopes that he would choose the Orange and Blue but, via video, Liddell decided to go with Big Ten foe, Ohio State.

Liddell is a 6-foot-7, 220-pound power forward from Belleville West High School in Belleville, Illinois. He is rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 57 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 10 power forward in the nation.

After his commitment and continuing into the next day, I see a lot of emotions flowing through the Twitter world.
