Illini Recruiting him

According to the SunTimes Blog U of I is after him. Doesn't make much sense except for the fact he is a great player.

Don't know what to think on the illini having an opening for 2009....either someone will not be back or C. Head will go to prep school?

Little article talking about eight sleepers for the class of 2009 and Darius Smith is one of them. They say the front runner for Smith is Indiana but he is also considering Arizona State, Dayton, Washington State, Illinois, Kentucky and DePaul.

Another recruit on the list is Marcus Jordan and they list the front runner as Illinois! Even though he previously stated he would not go to the same university as his older brother Jeffery.

These eight players aren't in the ESPNU 100, but they could have a major impact on the collegiate level in 2009.

Would make me sad if he ended up at Indiana... But I hope wherever he does go he'll have a great experience.

And too bad he didn't mention us in that Suntimes article. I fondly remember that one time he did and gave us the love for being in contact with him early and often.
