Illinois Fighting Illini ArchiveMy Bro Mycheal Henry Commits to Illinoisby Ricky O'Donnell on May 11 at 1:53AM
 I usually leave an ear open to the haters when we talk about U of I here, but not today: today, it is all positive. That's because, following the 2010-2011 school year, Champaign will be the new home of Orr forward Mycheal Henry. This is great news. We go, like, way back. Ignore, for a second, that Henry likely checks TUP four times a day and that we're practically best friends: why did the fast-rising senior-to-be choose Illinois over the likes of Georgetown and Wisconsin? Well, because of everything, of course. "It was everything with Illinois," Henry said. "The coaches, the players coming in, the facilities, the environment, everything." OK then. But for real, this is good. Henry is natural 3 with good size (6'5) and a pretty sweet stroke from the outside. I saw him play two of three times as a junior while covering high school basketball for the Chicago Sun-Times, and I feel confident forecasting a successful run for him at U of I. Perhaps even more important is fact that stupid Bruce Weber finally got himself a legit city kid. After blowing it oh-so-many times in the past, Henry has been called the first stud CPS recruit Weber has landed in eight years. He joins a 2011 recruiting class that already includes Mount Carmel point guard Tracy Abrams, who's game I would affectionately describe as "sick as hell". Things are quite possibly looking up a bit for a Illini hoops, I have to say. The Ballad of Ricky-Bobby: Big Ten Killby Bobby Loesch on December 3 at 10:46PM
