Larry Austin Jr, a 2014 point guard, just received an offer from Illinois…and he says Kentucky wants him to visit.
This from PJStar.com:
[I]Austin received a scholarship offer from Illinois on Wednesday to go with the one he already has from Bradley. Austin apparently wasn’t ready to jump at the Illini offer, considering he was already done with his school work and in bed by the time his father returned home from church.
“We didn’t get a chance to talk,” said his father, Larry. “I don’t know what he’s thinking until we get a chance to talk.
“This is a big one. It’s a privilege to offered by your home state school.”
Illinois made the big move while other recruiters were showing more interest in Austin, who plans to visit the Illinois campus on Sept. 17 for the Illini-Arizona State football game. Austin will also visit Ohio State and Xavier later this month.
He doesn’t yet have a visit scheduled with Kansas, his father said, because of a conflict with USA Basketball in October. But Austin likely will make a trip there. [B]Kentucky was also showing interest and wanting Austin to make a visit.[/B][/I]
