Reliable sources have informed us that Brian Greene Jr, a 6'3 class of 2011 guard from Thornton Township High School in Harvey, IL has received a scholarship offer courtesy of Wofford College.  The Terriers are the defending Southern Conference champions and reached the NCAA tournament last season with a 26-9 record.

Greene has been a vital ingredient all summer long for an underrated Illinois Old School traveling team squad which finished as the runners-up in the silver division of the Best Of The Summer Tournament in Anaheim, CA.  Other key contributors for Old School at the Best Of Summer event were 6'6 forward Bernard Brame from Thornton, 6'4 off-guard Joe Edwards from St. Joseph High School in Westchester, IL and 6'1 guard Jeff Jarosz from Morton High School in Cicero, IL.

There is no question that Wofford head coach Mike Young and his staff are making the Midwest and the Chicago area in particular a top recruiting priority.  In addition to Greene, the Terriers have also extended a scholarship offer to 6'4 class of 2011 guard Joe Chrisman from Munster High School in Munster, IN who competes on the traveling team circuit for the Illinois Wolves.
