Ohio sleeper talks Big Ten visits
Ohio wide receiver John Long made an official visit to Illinois Dec. 5. It was his first official visit, but may not be his last.
"I really enjoyed myself at Illinois," Long said. "It was really nice there. The people were great. I really like the coaching staff."

"I'll probably also visit Wisconsin in January. I talked with them after I got back from my Illinois visit. Coach Mason wants me to visit."
"And I'm kinda looking at West Virginia as well."
"Illinois is my favorite."
The 6-foot-2 and 170 pound Long, from Cincinnati (Ohio) Princeton, caught 72 passes for close to 850 yards and nine touchdowns during his senior season. Long said none of the three schools he is interested in have offered a scholarship to this point.
