Just to clear up some incorrect information related to Golden and the Illini being involved originally in his recruitment. That information is incorrect, and I'm not sure where it came from. Bryce originally selected Pitt over Penn State, Xavier, Clemson, Maryland, Davidson and Texas Tech. The Illini didn't not recruit him until the he canned Pitt.

However, the information about his grandpa, Gary Golden, being an Illini football coach is correct. And his father did live in Champaign and enjoyed living there. As a matter of fact, he said it was one of the best places he's ever lived. This is the only connection Bryce has to Illinois before they started recruiting him the second go around.
