We know Illinois and Purdue will play each other until the end of time, part of the Big Ten’s new scheduling format for when USC and UCLA join the league in 2024.
But the rivalry is getting deeper with Bret Bielema leading the Illini, and his former DC Ryan Walters at the helm of the Boilers.
And on Monday, it showed out.
The Illini picked up four commitments — FOUR COMMITMENTS — in just an awesome day on the trail. That comes on the tail of two commits on Sunday night, including one player who had previously committed to BYU and had an offer from Oklahoma.
