Iowa picks up Illinois guard

Illini follow NCAA tournament from afar

This isn't where the Illinois players want to be, playing in the NIT. It was NCAA tournament-or-bust for these guys. Truth is, with their spring break starting today, some of them would rather be on a beach somewhere than preparing for Kent State's visit Monday. That's just the way it is.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Illinois prep guard Ben Brust says he has verbally committed to play basketball at Iowa.

Brust, a 6-foot-2 native of Mundelein, has one year of high school ball left. He will be eligible to play for the Hawkeyes starting in 2010.

Brust says he picked the Hawkeyes over Northwestern, Butler and Stanford. He says Iowa's basketball program and its academics made the Hawkeyes a good fit.

Brust is Iowa's second verbal commitment for the Class of 2010. Forward Cody Larson of Sioux Falls, S.D., committed last September.
