Not to be outdone by their CCIW counterparts, Elmhurst College has also managed to put together an outstanding 2008 recruiting class which ranks right at the top of the conference.  The Bluejays have signed a total of six players in this class.

Elmhurst's prize recruits from the 2008 class are 6'2 guard Zack Boyd from Warrensburg-Latham High School and 6'0 guard Mike McCurdy from Burlington Central High School in Burlington, IL.

Boyd averaged 23.5 ppg for a team that finished third in the Class 1A state tournament and was named a first team all-state selection by both the Associated Press and the Chicago Sun-Times.  McCurdy is also a high-scoring guard who averaged 24.5 ppg this past season en route to second team all-state honors. 

The Bluejays will graduate only one senior from a team that finished 18-8 overall during the 2007-08 campaign and figures to be among the upper echelon teams in the CCIW come 2008-09.
