You should pay attention to Champaign Central’s Khailieo Terry
Khailieo Terry, a 6’5 sophomore (!) from Champaign Central High School, has a bright future ahead of him. He gained some notoriety locally last year for his youth and effortless dunking ability, but if I know anything about sports (I’m a casual observer at best), I’d say that he has the potential to be the best local basketball recruit since Jay Simpson (who left Central for La Lumiere Academy) was recruited by Purdue or maybe even since Verdell Jones went to Indiana? I’m sure I’m forgetting someone.
Maybe Brunderwood will come calling soon. Maybe he won’t. Either
