The Illinois basketball team is recruiting some extremely talented players for the class of 2018 and 2019.

These players are going to help continue building the program up to where it needs to be. They are going to be key pieces to the championship runs that Illinois will go on the next decade.

Brad Underwood has a big task to make sure these great recruits don’t commit elsewhere and they are even in the state of Illinois. That should help with the recruitment of all four of these players.

The four players that I have listed are all special talents. They all have the ability to impact any team at the next level when they become freshmen. That is why I want Illinois to land all four of them.

Progress has already been made on most of these players and there are some that have just surfaced over the last few months. They will all play high DI basketball when their time comes.

Right now, the four are playing in the EYBL AAU league. This is a platform to show off their talents to college coaches like Underwood and some of the blue bloods.

Here are the recruits that are showing well at the EYBL session one.
