[Fly Illini Fly!]

his other visits UConn and Temple. seems like a winnable recruitment?!?

very Gabe Jacas type measurables.

Not only the leap in the composite, but now a 4* on both rivals and espn. Awfully big-time riser.

Bennett just had an Under Armour event a couple weeks ago - assuming the universal bump means he was one of the best players at the event.

Hopefully we land him. Other schools seem to land legacy recuits no problem. Now that Bret has us in a good spot, there's no easy reason to say no to us

He dominated the event. Stock up for sure. He’s bricked up for a high school player, too.

Would we take both him and Stewart?

I would doubt it based on the players that have already committed for '26, but it seems either would be a great addition.

Vala is a big time addition. He moves very good and really gets after it when he blocks. Very good in state pick up and we aren’t done yet
