The Illinois basketball team has a lot of talent on the roster right now and they still have a few players coming in from the class of 2017 as well.
The class of 2017 was supposed to have four players in it but things have gone down and now it only consists of two players. Trent Frazier and Da’Monte Williams are the only ones standing, but they are the two most important out of the bunch.
I am sure more talent will be added to the class of 2017, but as of right now, there are only two coming in and I have to map out of the starting lineup with what we have.
The two who have committed are going to be extremely important. They not only provide depth, but they are both extremely talented and can play right away.
Illinois also has a good amount of talent returning as well. These players will be key to getting back to the NCAA tournament, which hasn’t happened in four seasons.
No matter what happens in the upcoming months leading up to the 2017-18 season, the Illinois basketball team will be okay and I think we still have good talent on the team.
Here is the Illini starting lineup without Jeremiah Tilmon and Javon Pickett.
