Just a quick (or not) recap of Illinois 2019 scholarship offers. Out of 56 offers, there are 18 remaining. Out of the 18 the following are whom Illinois is still in on, though most are unlikely, which, of course is my opinion although based on the very subjective opinions of this board and the various CBs etc.:
Drew Timme C
Chris Payton SF
Marquis Walker PG One CB to Illinois. Offer list isn’t too impressive, DePaul and Illinois Chicago, and Southern U are the other three.
Antwan January??? C Most recent addition. He already cut his list down to nine teams before the Illinois offer (Illinois, obviously not being one of them) Florida State, Nevada, Boise State, New Mexico, Kansas State, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Washington State
Kofi Cockburn C - taking an OV in the near future. Probably going to UConn but Syracuse is still a possibility
Terrance Shannon???
Jason Jitoboh???
Tre Mitchell???
As many of you already know, Mitchell and Jitoboh had OVs scheduled which were subsequently cancelled. I assume that means they are not coming to Illinois but I don’t know if I can “officially” exclude them yet.
Out of the 18 the following are whom we have little to no hope of landing generally because we have been crossed off their lists or had little hope of getting anyway:
James Wiseman 7’ PF Ranked number one player and number one center. So probably no way he is coming to Illinois. Seems to be between Memphis and Kentucky with most CBs giving the edge to Memphis
Zeke Nnaji PF Cuts list to Arizona, Baylor, UCLA, Kansas, Purdue. The only good news for Illinois is that he eliminated Minnesota (he’s from Hopkins, MN)
Isaiah Stewart Ranked 5 (247Sports) Trimmed his list to six schools in August — Duke, Villanova, Syracuse, Michigan St., Indiana, and Washington.
Jahmius Ramsey Final 10 Miami, LSU, Virginia Tech, Oregon, Indiana, Florida, Louisville, Memphis, NC State and Texas Tech. Has said he will not make a decision until spring.
Trendon Watford PF top 8 schools Memphis, Alabama, Florida State, Indiana, Kansas, LSU, TCU and Vanderbilt
Damion Baugh PG Trimmed his list to 10 which include Texas, LSU, Houston, Auburn, TCU, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Miami, Western Kentucky, and Florida.
Keion Brooks SF Cuts list to 10, Illinois is not on the list. CBs seem to be trending to Indiana
Lester Quinones SG Evan Daniels and Jerry Meyer (and some other CBs) have him going to LSU.
Nobal Days PF Ranked 320 (247Sports) CBs to Cornell and Marquette. At least 9 offers. Some interest to Wisconsin
Niven Glover Ranked 251 (247Sports). Not much info. No visits, no CBs, no coach visits that I could find.
