Not sure I would categorize Cahokia as one of the best teams in Illinois (they had a good year last year, but outside of that, they've been pedestrian).

Still, good signing for Drake.

They finished 2nd in the state in 3A last season....I'd say that made them one of the best teams in the state. Obviously, it's impossible to know how they would have done against 4A teams.

Agree on both. Kuentsling will almost certainly redshirt his freshman season. Of the 5 commitments Drake has, he's probably the least ready to contribute immediately. But, I like his long term prospects for being a contributor.

Cahokia has two good players in Rivers and Darius Austin (UMKC). Again another solid job by Ray G. I know the Bradley coaches liked CJ Rivers.
