			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Tuesday, the Illinois Fighting Illini extended an offer to 2014 athlete Thomas Wilson. Wilson has an 86 rating and is ranked 633rd on 247 Sports’ Composite Rankings. He also received an offer from the Syracuse Orange on Tuesday as well.</p>
<div id="attachment_7361" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/55270281.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7361" title="NCAA Football: Arkansas State at Illinois" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/55270281-300x198.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sep 03, 2011; Champaign, IL, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini cheerleaders lead the crowd in a cheer during the third quarter against the Arkansas State Red Wolves at Memorial Stadium.

<p>The Georgia recruit has received offers from the Charlotte 49ers, Cincinnati Bearcats, East Carolina Pirates, Georgia State Panthers, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Illinois Fighting Illini, Indiana Hoosiers, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Missouri Tigers, South Florida Bulls, South Miss Golden Eagles, Syracuse Orange, Tennessee Volunteers, West Virginia Mountaineers, and Wisconsin Badgers.</p>
<p>According to 247 Sports, Wilson&#8217;s best skills are his athleticism, versatility, and ball skills. After watching his film from this past season, his #1 skill has to be his versatility.</p>
<p>Wilson can play running back, defensive back, or returner. He can also chuck the football down field. He also uses his athleticism to make very nice plays. At first, I thought he was just a big hitting DB, but upon watching more I saw that Thomas has the ability to use his athleticism to twist his body and make some nice interceptions.</p>
<p>The three-star recruit is currently ranked 73rd in the state of Georgia and 71st among athletes by <a href="http://247sports.com/">247Sports</a>.</p>

Tucker has a 86 rating and is ranked 688th on 247 Sports&#8217; Composite Rankings. He is also the second recruit from the state of Georgia that Tim Beckman has offered at since this weekend (the other was <a href="http://writingillini.com/2013/05/20/missouri-football-recruiting-illinois-offers-cole-cook/" target="_blank">Cole Cook</a>).</p>
<div id="attachment_7336" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/7260384.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7336" title="NCAA Football: Illinois-Spring Game" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/7260384-300x452.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="452" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Apr 12, 2013; Champaign, IL, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini head coach Tim Beckman during the first half of the spring football game at Memorial Stadium.

<p>Out of all his offers, it seems Tucker is most interested in Arkansas, Louisville, North Carolina State, North Carolina, and Stanford.</p>
<p>His best skills are his athleticism, lateral movement, reactive quickness, and pursuit of the football.</p>
<p>Tucker will visit the Ohio State Buckeyes for their football camp on June 21st.</p>
<p>The three-star recruit is currently ranked 71st in the state of Georgia and 55th among outside linebackers by <a href="http://247sports.com/">247Sports</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Illinois head coach John Groce is already looking to the future when it comes to recruiting and he is going to his old &#8220;home&#8221; state of Ohio for talent. On Thursday, coach Groce extended out an offer to 2016 power forward VJ King.</p>
<p>Illinois became the fourth Big Ten team to offer at the 2016 Ohio native.</p>
<div id="attachment_7318" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/6979434.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7318" title="NCAA Basketball: MIchigan at Illinois" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/140/files/2013/05/6979434-300x443.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="443" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jan 27, 2013; Champaign, IL, USA; Illinois Fighting Illini head coach John Groce reacts during the second half against the Michigan Wolverines at Assembly Hall. Michigan defeated Illinois 74-60. Mandatory Credit: Bradley Leeb-USA TODAY Sports</p></div>
<p>King has received offers from the Charlotte 49ers, Illinois Fighting Illini, Iowa Hawkeyes, Iowa State Cyclones, Ohio State Buckeyes, Wisconsin Badgers, and UNC Greensboro Spartans.</p>
<p>King is currently finishing up his freshman year at St Vincent-St Mary High School and, after looking at his film from the Michigan Invitational, its hard not to compare him to a former St Vincent-St Mary alum.</p>
<p>That alum would be the Miami Heat&#8217;s Lebron James. Am I saying King will be the next LBJ? No way! However, he processes the same skills.</p>
<p>VJ King is a 6&#8217;5&#8243; PF, but can do it all. He can handle the ball well, shoot of the outside, work around the basket on rebounds, and drive along the baseline to the hoop. He also has a nice one arm pass that looks almost exactly like the one by Lebron James.</p>
<p>This 2016 recruit is currently unranked by 247 Sports, Rivals, and Scouts.</p>
