High school recruiting is really secondary right now. Illinois is done with high school kids in the 2024 class, barring a breakout kid emerging.
There’s already third party portal recruiting going on all around college basketball.
Priority for Illinois is a big wing / shooter. They could add a guard and possibly a big, depending on who stays and who goes. There are already a few guys on the radar.
Sounds like Jeremiah Fears will stay in the 2025 class. That makes it harder for Illinois, IMO. He could still change his mind, though.
