He's ranked about 70 spots below JCL. who isn't a pg. LoVett's ranked low because of his academic standing and lack of interest due to that, or because he's relatively unknown. Illinois only got JCL because Michigan backed off for whatever reason. With no personal issue red flags to speak of, one can only assume that they thought he wasn't that good. Illinois never gets kids that they have to go up against high majors for, except maybe Wisconsin, and only then because the kids grow up loving their state. The good news is that we have Jordan and Williams and Paul coming in next year. Wait, that's the bad news. Don't know what the good news is, maybe we won't finish last. While I agree with you, other schools make mistakes. We only got Deron Williams because UNC got Felton and Georgia Tech got Jarret Jack. That worked out ok for us. Also if you watched the Jordan game, JCL played well against top competition.
