2015 point guard Marcus LoVett Jr. selects St. John's over Illinois and Memphis

The writing has been on the wall for months, but Illinois fans refused to accept it. Marcus LoVett Jr. announced his commitment to St. John's late Wednesday night via Twitter; the Morgan Park (IL) star selected the Red Storm over Illinois, Memphis, and a few other schools.

That's all we've got.

Illinois still has one open scholarship for the 2015 recruiting class and the only remaining player with an offer is Bradley transfer Josh Cunningham--he visited Champaign back on May 15th. Cunningham was a former top-100 recruit in the class of 2014 and he'd have three years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the 2015-16 season.
