Big group from St. Louis Trinity including top 2019 targets QB Isaiah Williams, WR Marcus Washington, and LB Shammond Cooper.
Getting Cooper on campus is big. He scheduled trips before but didn't make it.
Illini commit Jordan Slaughter, OL from Belleville (Ill.) Althoff will be in for his official visit.
Possibly Texas WR Malik Knowles, but haven't confirmed that one yet. I'm not sure how big a priority Knowles is. Some on the staff like him, but Illinois has a shot at a couple of bigger fish.
In-state WR Alec Pierce, who has a PWO offer from Illinois. Pierce is a tweener, flex-tight end type who runs well straight ahead but isn't a quick-cut kid. Good PWO type.
Maybe a few others, including a potential headliner.
