Sharp-shooting Cross has Illini recruiting interest — and feeling is mutual
The Woodstock Academy's Matt Cross #14 in action against CBD-Montverde during a high school basketball game at the Hoophall Classic, Sunday, January 20, 2019, in Springfield, MA.WESTFIELD, Ind. — Matt Cross has added nearly a dozen high-major offers to his recruiting haul since the start of this spring's Nike EYBL season.
That those offers came after the 6-foot-7, 205-pound forward opened EYBL action in late April in Atlanta with three 20-point games (plus two more earlier this month in the Indianapolis suburbs in addition to a 30-point effort) is no coincidence.
Cause and effect, if you will.
