Illini target Williams eager for next shot

WESTFIELD, Ind. — The opening session of Nike EYBL action can deliver an increase in recruiting attention for players that elevate their game among some of the top prospects in the country.

Like Jaylin Williams did in Atlanta at the end of April.

The Class of 2020 prospect put up a double-double in three of four games for Woodz Elite that first weekend. That included what turned out to be his breakout performance with 17 points, 13 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in a blowout win against UPlay Canada.

Illinois first reached out to Williams the first week of May.
