JC ANDERSON ENDS UP AT ILLINOIS

Illinois, Auburn and Ole Miss are the top contenders for the big tight end out of Illinois. North Carolina is lurking while Notre Dame has fallen off in the recruitment.

It’s risky to make the prediction ahead of three officials to programs with good recruiting head coaches. But I’m going out on a limb here and saying that Anderson will pick the Illini in the end.

The ability to stay home and help the program build something special in Champaign could be too tempting to pass up. But Illinois will have to fight hard to get this one over the finish line.
