What teams were trying to poach Lillard?

I keep hearing this comment about Dame, but have never heard what schools were trying to come in and poach him away from us after his freshman season. Does anyone have any legit reports on what schools were actually trying to pursued him to transfer?

"Once he started playing for Weber State, other programs realized that they had missed out. As a freshman, Lillard averaged 11.5 points in 29.4 minutes. After his breakout year, coaches around the country were now calling and asking Lillard to transfer. Suddenly, the schools that had doubted him just one year before were telling him that he could be great and that he was too good for Weber State. Lillard was amused by the sudden interest, but never seriously considered transferring."

Not surprising, I know several major football programs tried to convince Jared Allen to transfer after he started to show his abilities at Idaho State.
