The past week has been busy on the Illinois basketball front as they try to build for the future.
Being first out on the gate with a recruitment is important. The recruit knowing that you were the first team to recognize their talent always holds a place in the player’s heart. That is why I am excited about the Illini coming in with an offer to Kyle Thomas.
