According to this Sun Times Tweet, Nnana Egwu has chosen Illinois. Puzzle piece #2 of the sweet spot is now in place.

Jerrance, baby. Jerrance.

Rivals ranks Egwu as the #48 player in the 2011 class.  He’ll join Tyler Griffey, Stan Simpson, and Meyers Leonard in the frontcourt after Davis and Tisdale move on down the road.

I’ll have more later, but for now, I want to be all “breaking news, everyone” so that 3 people in Illiniland might learn of this news from me, thereby furthering my sportswriter fantasies.

Stay tuned to ALionEye as we follow this developing story.

(that was fun)
