This class was supposed to be special and still has a chance to produce some great Illinois players. But, John Groce and the Illini may also be looking at a big class in 2018, as well.
ESPN released their “ESPN60” list today that featured what they think are the top 60 players in the class of 2018.
There are some talented players on this list including a few that the Illini are targeting.
As it stands right now, Illinois has 4 open scholarships for the class of 2018. Since the class of 2017 isn’t wrapped up yet, there is potentially for the scholarship count to be as low as 0 for 2018.
