Illinois basketball coach Bruce Weber would rather Kentucky hadn’t recently tried to sway away Illini assistant Jerrance Howard, but Weber does realize there was significance to it.
“In a way, it’s a compliment to our program and him,” Weber said on Monday night. “If we’re struggling and not doing a good job recruiting, they wouldn’t contact him. He’s very loyal to the Illini and appreciates everything. At the same time, you always listen to things and see what’s out there.”
Weber said he expected Howard to remain with the Illini based on conversations they’ve had since Howard was contacted by Kentucky on Friday.
“As far as I know, he’ll be back,” Weber said.

Well, if Rick Bozich’s prediction true, Book Richardson could be getting a phone call soon. If recruiting basketball players isn’t enough, now the recruiting race for the recruiter is hot and heavy. Should be an exciting next couple of days.
