Final Piece to the Puzzle (2007 Class)

Well, it looks like the Illini are trying to sign a major recruit with the one remaining open scholarship available for this fall. Speculation surrounds three leading candidates:

Jenirro Bush, a 6'6" point guard looking for a new school after he was originally headed to Arkansas to play for Stan Heath.

Ty Abbott, a shooting guard that was headed to New Mexico, and has changed his mind since their coaching situation changed.

Rodney Alexander, a JUCO small forward that played at Redlands in Oklahoma, rated the top small forward JUCO prospect in the country from last season.

I'm sure there are other options, including leaving the spot open, but Weber probably wants another player with the uncertainty of whether Jamar Smith will be allowed to return to the team next season.
