At this rate, perhaps Jereme Richmond and Crandall Head should go 50-50 on an apartment in C-U. Illinois' two commitments in the 2010 recruiting class are on the UI campus -- again -- today for a visit and pickup game with the Illini.

Richmond, the Waukegan standout, arrived at Ubben Basketball Complex this afternoon with several friends. It's the third time in just over two weeks Richmond has interacted with the Illinois staff, following competitions at the Illinois team camp and the Illinois satellite camp at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. Head, who said earlier this month he is exploring other high schools after playing last season at Rich South, was also on campus about two weeks ago with older brother Luther. Crandall arrived this afternoon.

- Look for more in Wednesday's News-Gazette. Also in Wednesday's N-G is a text messaging interview with Centennial point guard James Kinney, who's receiving considerable interest from another Big Ten program.
