BRUTUS MAXIMUS

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

For the record - Brutus Maximus just secured the verbal committment of 2011 PG Tracy Abrams. Abrams is a consensus top 3 player in the loaded Illinois class of 2011.

What this means - Abrams is tight with other Chicago area ballers/cagers, Mike Shaw, Sam Thompson, and Wayne Blackshear. Blackshear and Shaw have specifically mentioned wanting to play with Abrams in college. His committment also puts pressue on other players like Chasson Randle and Bradley Beal to pull the trigger before scholarships run out.

Prediction - Abrams is the headliner of a 5 man class that ranks in the top 3 nationally and gives Weber back to back top 5 classes and three straight top 10 classes.

Cool random tidbit - If the 2011 class contains all Illinois kids, their freshman class will contain 12 kids from the state of Illinois and Tyler Griffey from St Louis. Pretty badass.

I'm glad to see you put some stuff on here about Illinois basketball. I was beginning to really think you thought U of I was a football school.
