The 2025-26 campaign should be an entertaining one, as the Illinois basketball team loaded up on some great talent.
Brad Underwood didn’t have to do the usual complete rebuild as in years prior, but the head coach filled some of the voids on the Illini roster to give this program a chance come March.
Overall, the work Underwood has done in the recruiting game has been impressive. The class of 2026 isn’t likely to be an exception either. With two depth pieces committed – Ethan Brown and Landon Davis – for next season, Illinois is now looking to add some home runs to the mix.
