Tyler Griffey to Illinois!

According to the News-Gazette, Tyler Griffey has decided to attend the University of Illinois and join the outstanding class of 2009. This is outstanding news for Bruce Weber and the Illini, and should make the 2009 recruiting class one of the top 10 in the country. Tyler Griffey is a 6-8, highly rated and talented forward from the St. Louis area who has been high priority for the Illini for over a year. Griffey had scholarship offers from a long list of major programs, so this is a huge win for Weber and company.
