Crandall Head Will Transfer To A Public League      Red-West School, But Where?

Crandall Head, the 6'4 guard and University Of Illinois commit from the class of 2010, will be transferring from Rich South High School in Richton Park, IL to a Chicago Public League School.  This news has been confirmed by Bo Delaney, who is Crandall's stepfather. 

According to Delaney, Head will undoubtedly be transferring to a Public League School in the Red-West division.  However, there has been talk of a possible realignment in which the Red-West would expand to as many as ten teams.  With that being said, possible destinations at this time include North Lawndale, Whitney Young, Marshall, Farragut, and Crane. 

While it is still to be determined where Head will ultimately end up, there are some things that can be deducted based on information that has been disclosed both past and present.  One is that he will not be attending Crane.  This is because it appears as though Crandall's older brother Jeremy will be transferring to Crane. What makes this significant is that Delaney has indicated that Crandall and his two brothers who are also in high school will all be transferring into the Chicago Public League but will be playing at three different schools. 

In addition, Whitney Young could still be a longshot in light of previous information in which we had learned that there could be factors which could prevent Crandall from attending that school.  Whitney Young is also the only one of the aforementioned schools that does not currently compete in the Red-West, as they are in the Red-Northwest division.  That would narrow it down to either North Lawndale, Marshall or Farragut if this logic holds true.

Contrary to rumors that had been circulating, Crandall will not be playing on any of the teams that will be participating in this weekend's University Of Illinois Satellite Camp at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.  Instead, he will be attending the NIKE Hoops Jamboree in St. Louis.  Illinois Prep Bulls-eye will continue to update everyone on this situation as further information unfolds.
