This commitment has been a long time coming. Coach Brad Underwood has been recruiting Guerrier for five years. This was Illinois’ third bite at the apple. But the existing relationship and the sell of recent regular season success was enough to lure the versatile forward to pledge to the orange and blue…the other orange and blue, that is.
