Beverley against Gordon
Indiana and Eric Gordon went up against Arkansas and Patrick Beverley, and who prevailed tonight? Arkansas was ready to play, with Weems scoring a career high in the game, and Gordon went cold in the NCAAs and Indiana became the first big 10 team to exit the tourney this year. It's interesting to see who plays each other in the NCAA tourney, with Gordon a guy who committed to Illini but didn't sign, and Beverley wanted to commit, but wasn't offered a scholarship by Coach Weber. Beverley and Weems are a tough guard combo, based on this game.

I checked both Rivals and Scout and didn't see Illinois even mentioned for Beverley.. I understand he might not have been offered but they normally show schools of interest even if there is no offer.....
By the way, great blog site...
Thanks
Beverley took Illinois off his lists after it became obvious an offer would not be coming from them. Before that, Beverley was quoted in the Tribune and Sun-Times as being very interested in Illinois, basically he said it was his top choice of schools. Check those newspaper archives to find the quotes.
Beverly's offer was pulled because he would not send transcripts to U of I for inspection.
