Illinois basketball has made numerous top lists already, and they added another one on Wednesday afternoon.

2022 is looking like a pretty pivotal class for the Illini, as a huge transition is going to happen after the upcoming season. Two top 100 recruits in Jayden Epps and Sencire Harris have already joined the mission to getting Illinois to a national title, but there are still some spots left on the team.
