When the clock struck midnight Wednesday morning college basketball coaches could, for the first time, directly contact Class of 2018 prospects. Illinois beat writer SCOTT RICHEY spotlights how the day went for three of the Illini’s targets:

The Finke family possessed something of a recruiting loophole in the fact teams could contact Jeff Finke directly because he’s Central’s coach, but it’s something they tried not to exploit. It hasn’t hurt Tim Finke’s recruitment. Possessing nine offers before Wednesday, the two-way wing added two more high majors from Marquette and Iowa State.
