Refreshing to see us taking high school players but as a 2027 this is a reservation at best

I definitely embrace the new era of NIL, transfer portal and prep school. But I still find it really cool when Illinois/midwest kids end up in Champaign. Welcome!

Love it even more when they are decidedly better and more team oriented than those prep school kids....especially when they play four years....three as a starter....two as all B1G....and one as First Team AA.

I always felt that Illinois is slow playing Jaxon from Warren and Thompson will be out their price range. You watch Jaxon go to Purdue and kill it their. Kitt is a very good prospect from the Top AAU program in Illinois. Mac Irvin and Illinois Wolves have definitely fallen off in terms of elite talent.

1. I like to get a local kid.

2. I said it in the recruitment thread, but 38 year old me ended up on a court with this young man when he was 14. He tore us up. I'm glad to say I played with an Illini player again (I played with Tisdale back in the day).

Nice! I played with Jens Kujawa, Glynn Blackwell and Anthony Welch at various times but I was only 17-18 :)

Welcome Quinton. Looks like the staff is going back to HS kids for 26. Any leads on international players for 26.

Kitt's a '27

someone said we had a Lithuanian kid in recently. forgot his name, but really good 6' 5-6" player. we have lots of irons in our euro fire and our track record is golden there
