Believe me, I understand how critical recruiting is to the life of a program. It is especially hard to exaggerate the importance of recruiting to the Illini.
And now that the Illini are in contention again for the services of Charlie Moore, who seems very excited about playing alongside fellow point-guard Te’Jon Lucas, things have gotten more interesting for next year.
In my last piece, I wrote about the Illini’s ideal starting line-up next year. Of course, that analysis did not include Moore.
Even with Moore, I think the starting point guard position is Tracy Abrams’ to lose.
