Illinois offers Gaston, becomes a favorite - ESPN
Quote:
It was a busy weekend for defensive lineman Bruce Gaston (Chicago, Ill./St. Rita). The 6-foot-3, 304 pounder received his seventh scholarship offer on Friday and it was a big one. The offer came from Illinois.
"I talked to their coach and he said they watched my tape and they wanted to offer me," Gaston said.
The Fighting Illini join Michigan State, Indiana, Wyoming, Bowling Green, Western Michigan and Central Michigan to offer Gaston.
"I'm expecting a lot more," Gaston said. "I go to Iowa's camp on Saturday. And I'm going to camps at Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Michigan State and Arizona."
When asked to name his favorite, Gaston said, "At this point it's between Illinois and Michigan State, but I'm still weighing my options."
After landing the offer from Illinois, Gaston headed for the home of the Fighting Illini the next morning. Gaston was in Champaign on Saturday for the Nike Football Training Camp at War Memorial Stadium.
"I really liked it," Gaston said. "There was a lot of good competition. When I got the invitation I worked out hard to get ready. I think I was prepared."
