Decision looms for Illini target Patterson

WESTFIELD, Ind. — Addison Patterson is a consensus four-star recruit. Every service — from Rivals to 247Sports — considers the Milton, Ont., native and Bella Vista Prep (Ariz.) guard that level of prospect.

He’s not outside the top 30 player rankings on any service, but ESPN values him the highest as the No. 26 overall player in the 2020 class.

At least for now.

Patterson has a decision to make in the next few months. Return to Arizona for the 2019-20 season or reclassify to the 2019 class and get a jumpstart on his collegiate career.
