The Illinois basketball team is entering a really important time for the future of the program.
September and October are two huge months for Brad Underwood and his coaching staff. These months will let the Illini team and fan base know what to expect in the class of 2019. This class has a chance to be really special, but there is also a chance that some of the big names slip away and Illinois is left with a class that is average at best.
Throughout the next 60 days, Illinois will have at least six official visits. This upcoming list doesn’t include the Kofi Cockburn visit that will happen but is likely to be unofficial. He mentioned that he wants to visit Illinois this fall. It also doesn’t include the in-home visit that Illinois is getting with Drew Timme on September 17. That is a big visit as well.
The upcoming list is just for official visits. These visits solidify the Illini as one of the top five, if not less, for these talented recruits. Illinois needs to make an impact on these players so the future of the program continues to be bright.
Here are the six important official visits for the Illini.
