Wade:  Depaul and Illinois State, though DePaul chose Imari Sawyer over Wade and was out of scholarships before he made his decision.

Diener:  Utah and St. Louis were the other finalists, he also had interest from Wisconsin.

Novak: Florida and Illinois were in the final 3, he also had offers from UNC, Purdue, Wisconsin and USC.

Doc: DePaul

Novak was the #57 recruit in the country that year, but among the top 2 or 3 shooters(with Redick).

Diener was the #40 recruit in the country the year before.

Wade made some top 100 lists in the 50-60 range, but was not a consensus top 100 player.

I thought I remembered hearing that UK was pretty high on Novak as well.
