Of the many reasons why blue-chip gymnast YUL MOLDAUER was considering Illinois: grandma's cooking. But even the lure of PEG STEFFENSEN's hospitality wasn't enough to keep her grandson from choosing Oklahoma instead.

"When he makes up his mind, there's no changing it," Steffensen said when I asked her if she should have recruited him a bit harder. "Anyway, I would have been worried about him. It's better he went some place not as tempting and active and big as UI."

Moldauer and the No. 1 Sooners visit Huff Hall at 11 a.m. Saturday.
