Illinois grabs a top 2007 Recruit

Gordon is the #1 rated SG in 2007 class, according to Scout.com. Duke really wanted him, so this is a BIG win for Weber.

This is excellent news for the Illini. With Gordon, they certainly have the odds in their favor when it comes to getting a committment from his basketball pal, Derrick Rose (#2 PG in ‘07). Bruce Weber will be able to continue running his system successfully, as he’ll have the guards necessary to do so. With other 4 and even 5 star players from the class of ‘07 very interested in the Illini, their future, along with the Big Ten’s, looks bright.
