Mike Shaw picks Illini

Chicago DeLaSalle’s 6’8″ power forward Mike Shaw announced this afternoon that he’ll play college ball at Illinois.

Shaw chose the Illini over West Virginia, DePaul and Marquette.

That makes four 4-star recruits in the Class of 2011. All are from Chicago, three from Vatican-oriented schools:

PG/SG Tracy Abrams
C Nnanna Egwu
SF Mycheal Henry

Alabama’s Devin Langford will visit the campus this weekend. If he commits to Illinois, the Class of 2011 would yield its own starting line-up.
