It looks like the Illinois basketball team is in the running for a talented player out of California.
Not every recruit comes with a ton of stars or recognition. While the Illini have been able to snag high-level players like Morez Johnson, we also need depth throughout the bench. Finding a diamond in the rough is something that is exciting to think about.
A diamond in the rough for Illinois could be Jase Butler. On Monday, Butler took to social media to announce that he had cut his top list down to just six teams.
