Great question - I've been trying to find information on this. I read she had offers from several B10 and ACC schools, but haven't found any lists yet. She would have been recruited toward the end of the Fahey era, so she probably didn't consider Illinois at the time. Would love to see her...

Alyssa Latham, a 6'2" forward from Glenwood, IL, has entered the portal. She was ranked #68 in her class and named to the ACC All Freshman Team this year. She should have three years of eligibility. Could be a good pick up...

It appears Shay Bollin (Duke) was on a campus for a visit. Any updates?

The silence is deafening . . .

Nice article on the 2023 recruits. The future looks bright. https://www.news-gazette.com/sports/allen-dolan-take-leap-of-faith-in-saying-yes-to-illini/article_30b4b2a7-8ee6-51bf-a104-c7d1ae9cd472.html

ESPN included Makira Cook on a short list of transfer players who have made the biggest impact on the 2022-2023 season. Go Illini! https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35330279/women-college-basketball-transfer-rankings-2022-23

This looks more like a Minnesota highlight reel.

Illinois is ranked #17 in the pre-season poll. Go Illini! https://www.avca.org/polls/di-women/2022/08-15-2022.html?fbclid=IwAR1zTvaoyONSmUJEk8mkPnl3mhJjd6hS6L27tVbinE1n2eXhrZCl8tLil98

Illinois adds Kayla Burbage, a 6'4" sophomore transfer from Missouri, to the roster. She will play on the right side and looks like a great addition to the team. https://fightingillini.com/news/2022/5/10/illini-volleyball-welcomes-in-kayla-burbage-for-fall-2022.aspx

You're correct - my bad. Walker would give us six players ranked in the top 100.

She would be a nice addition and would give us a fourth top 100 player on the roster. That's a significant upgrade. We've moving in the right direction.

There are still several "bigs" in the portal that would be huge pickups for Illinois: Grace Hall, a top 100 player from Illinois is a 6'1" forward with three years of eligibility left (LSU) Angel Reese, a 6'3" junior who was a first-team All Big Ten Player (Maryland) Taylor Gibson, a 6'3"...

The roster has been updated to include the transfers and two freshman (Jackson and Taponen). I'm not sure if/when Dewey will be added. We currently have 10 players listed on the roster, so I anticipate we may add one or two more transfers. Overall, this is a great start with the addition of...
