Is a good question. I didn't see Illinois listed in the news as pursuing anyone of note. Just perused a big list of them. Of the top ones left ... they have either committed elsewhere, are still deciding, committed to the portal process fairly recently, or are in the NBA draft process. Some have had news leaked of top candidate schools, whether they are in portal or should reenter the portal by June 1st. Keep in mind that if Illinois is not listed as a possibility with those particular players, it very well may be because Illinois is not interested.
Of the Top 40 players at 247, as for PG's and SG's, I have heard no news-reported news concerning contact by either player or school for Malachi Smith, Teddy Allen (listed as guard or SF), AJ Green, Patrick Baldwin Jr, or Grant Sherfield.
