Red Hot Recruiting; Simeon Guard Jaylon Tate Commits To Illinois

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.
