Illinois Staff Still Recruiting Down South

Sorry for the delayed updates, decided to take a trip downtown for the day.  Anyway here's what went on in the recruiting world:

7/18/14: The Illinois staff remained in South Carolina to catch the last day of the Peach Jam EYBL Finals

9:00 AM: The day started off with assistant Jamal Walker scouting 2015 SG Shake Milton

Mokan guard Shake Milton has done a little bit of everything this morning. Scoring, facilitating. #Illini assistant Jamall Walker watching.

There was also a nice update on the Elijah Thomas front.  Thomas has been quoted as saying that D.J. is one of his closest friends on the AAU circut; hopefully that relationship pays off in the end for the Illini.

D.J. Williams added he talks to #Illini target Elijah Thomas almost every day. Tells him Groce has big things coming. @D_Will_1 @edotcash
