Yesterday, Brad Underwood and the Illini offered Drew Timme as scholarship. The mindset of this offer has to be securing a big man in the paint for the future. Getting a player like Timme would be good for the Illini and the recruiting pipeline in Texas.
Timme is a 6-foot-9, 215-pound power forward from Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. He is rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 69 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 16 power forward in the state of Texas. Securing a player of his size and athletic ability would be good for Underwood.
