Hey all, if you haven't seen (just check our Twitter if not), UC commit Malik Elzy had a big game on Friday night. But what caught plenty of eyeballs is that he was wearing Illinois gloves. I'll post that tweet below, but what I wanted to point out was that yesterday morning, UC commit Amare Snowden responded: "They're just gloves" and then took the tweet down probably two minutes later. But since it was in response to the tweet from Rivals, which our site was tagged in, we saw what Snowden tweeted before he deleted it.
I'm not 100% sure what to make of Snowden's response. He's been as active as any of the Bearcats' commitments in the 2023 class, as far as actively recruiting and keeping tabs on the guys currently committed. It seems that Snowden isn't too concerned. I know there's plenty of speculation, as the Illini have actively been recruiting Elzy. But I also know Snowden is actively in contact. I think Illinois will recruit Elzy right up to the moment he signs his letter of intent on signing day. But for now, it doesn't seem like there's a HUGE cause for concern. Still, we'll be monitoring Elzy until signing day in December.
