These classes have gone on to make NCAA Tournaments, set records, and make special plays that all Illini fans will remember.
But, there have also been some bad classes that haven’t lived up to expectations or even were just plain bad as well.
There was even one year that Illinois didn’t land a single recruit.
No matter what, though, the Illini still managed to push through and give us some interesting basketball.
I expect recruiting classes in the future to be special for the Illini. This list starts with the current class that Illinois has signed up for 2017.
