The big recruiting news today is not about Suggs or Miller, but Mike Davis (no, forget about the former IU coach) from the Washington DC area is committing to the Illini. Facts are still coming out about this development, but apparently he was planning to go to prep school this fall but changed his mind and is heading to Champaign to play basketball starting in either 2007 or 2008. Davis is a 6'9" power forward who can score, rebound and block shots, and he is considered a "late bloomer" who is athletic with a big upside. I will summarize the key links on this breaking story below.

Come on Ron, I broke that to you yesterday. Today I tell you Suggs goes to Wash! So take Suggs off your board...
Also, Davis will be used as a small forward. I am familiar with him because IU looked at him several times... He weighs about 200 and stands closer to 6'8".
As I said earlier, adjust your expectations and let Weber recruit his kind of players...
See yesterday mornings post under Shumpert....
