Justin Watts is a three star recruit that the Illini are interested in and according to Scout.com, he has a scholarship offer from the Illini. Watts is a very athletic combo guard who is 6-4, has good vertical and outside shooting ability. There is not much recent news on the web about Justin Watts, but I have a hunch he is seriously considering taking the last Illini basketball scholarship for 2008. This would make sense for Watts, since the Illini represent an outstanding opportunity to develop his guard skills under Weber, with Big Ten competition, in a program that can elevate a player, particularly athletic guards. For the Illini, they have mostly big men and point guards, and need help in wing players that can shoot. Also, Coach Weber likes to play three guards on occasion, and this would be possible with the 2009 class that is coming.
I will look for some news from Justin Watts very soon on his college selection.

I'm talking about an athletic guard with good size who can shoot! Maybe there is a chance he can join us for the second semester, we could sure use him this year.
Nope, I do not think that will happen.
