Illinois will probably need to change the minds of a couple of kids to ultimately rake in a top 5 class in the Big Ten.
Here are four to watch. We've talked about this group before.
Juan Harris, DT, Janesville (Wisc.) Parker (Indiana). Harris de-committed from Iowa three times before a surprise commitment to the Hoosiers. He comes with baggage, but he's also a talented kid and big time run stuffer.
Maleek Williams, RB, Punta Gorda (Fla.) Charlotte (Arkansas). Arkansas has commitments from 3 running backs in the 2017, including 4-star Chase Hayden. Sources I've talked to think the Razorbacks may not be able to hold on to all three.
Reggie Roberson, WR, Mesquite (Texas). (Kansas). Roberson should probably be considered a soft verbal at this point, and Illinois is definitely still in it.Roberson will likely visit.
James Blackman, QB, Belle Glade (Fla.) Glades Central. (Florida St.) An Illinois offer came as a surprise. People around FSU think the Seminoles plan to hang on to Blackman. But they also have a commitment from 4-star QB Baily Hockman and they signed top prospect Malik Henry in the class of 2016.
