I agree, but U of I does have a lot working in its favor when it comes to recruiting Shaun. Strengths of each team in this recruiting battle
Illinois-proximity, good friends on the team (Brian Randle and Richard McBride), his idle was Frank Williams, and the chance to become a legend in Illinois as evidenced by the large turnout today
Arizona-great program year and year out, their players seem to do better in the NBA then Dukies or Illini
Duke-well, they are Duke and that works in their favor, tradition, Coach K gets players drafted (although they usually don't live up to expectations
Feel free to add whatever I forgot
