Illinois and Aarman Franklin making great progress. Coach Antigua and his AAU coach are close.
Tre Mitchell is going to be a longer process, but Illinois likes where they sit in this one.
Myles Johnson saw how Illinois used Kofi, would love to be his replacement if Kofi leaves. How will that timing work out?
I know it would be easy to say that Ty TY is going to Kansas, and I believe that them and UCLA are the main competition, the conversations have been really strong with Illinois. And Kansas is in the dark as well, per a couple of program insiders.
Pods decision in the next 2 weeks. I can't find anyone that doesn't think it is Illinois. And yet I can't bring myself to put in a future cast for him.
Add in Parker Stewart as a kid they have had quality discussions with as well.
There are now portal kids talking about going places together to set up 'super teams' much like the NBA, lol. Wild west.
The kids not in the portal that have reached out to 3rd parties is a large number, including an Elite frosh and two all conference players.
Also, nobody gets what is going on at Rutgers.
