Illinois basketball fans can relax. The Illini's highest-rated recruit in decades, 6-foot-6-inch sophomore Jereme Richmond of Waukegan, is maintaining his allegiance to the orange and blue. In fact, Richmond laughs when asked if there's any chance he could pull an Eric Gordon on the Illini. Gordon reneged on his commitment and wound up at Indiana.

This kid has plenty time to change his mind. And that should put Uof I fans on suicide watch.

I think sophomore year is too early for kids to commit. At least we know if he changes his mind, it probably won't be a different big 10 school.

Richmond commited as a Frosh because he wanted to, not because he was heavily recruited. He reportedly has always wanted to play for Illinois, something that shouldn't change anytime soon.
