Painter going after Keita Bates Diop Today

The normal ILL. recruit will be in the Arena tonight. Painter must be pretty sure of the out come to want him there. I expect Painter will offer him tonight with hopes of getting a verbal. Said to be a Illini lean. If we get him Kendall Stephens may play a role in it as they both play AAU for the Wolves. Also on that AAU team is 2015 recruit Jordan Ash . Diop grew from 6'0 to 6'7 in a year and is said to have a 7'1 wingspan. His outside shot compares to Stephens that is saying alot. I doubt he will comit as everything I have read say's he enjoys all the visits and the whole recruiting game. And he is a life long Illini fan. Also Davis and Simpson will be at the game. The two of them have been tweeting about it like crazy . If Matty gets the verbal will he stick to it ? Funny how Willis has changed the Verbal to a yes maybe . I am so pumped for the game tonight may get there at 6.
