It did not take long for coach John Groce to get over losing top recruit Demetrius Jackson.
While on an unofficial visit, Simeon point guard Jaylon Tate was offered a scholarship by Groce and the Illini. It did not take long for Tate to decide, accepting the scholarship rather quickly.
Tate is a talented pure point guard. He joins Simeon teammate Kendrick Nunn, who committed just two and a half weeks before.
Groce is staying active on the recruiting trail as he tries to build the Illini up to where they should be--a top program in the nation. If Groce wants to be successful, continuing to recruit in Chicagoland is a great idea.
Tate has some potential and could be a great player for the Illini in a few years. For now, let's hope Coach Groce can grab Xavier Rathan-Mayes, who is expected to make his decision on October 13th.
