Andre Curbelo signs with Illinois
Brad Underwood signed his third straight top-100 recruit with his first signee: 6-foot point guard from Long Island, Andre Curbelo. Originally from Puerto Rico, Curbelo transferred to Long Island (N.Y. ) Lutheran High School (a basketball powerhouse) to pursue his basketball career. Curbelo drew high praise from his future head coach, who compared him to legendary point guard Steve Nash.
