One of the great things I love about the Illinois basketball program is that they don’t just focus on the micro.
Landing top talent for the 2022 class is important, but laying the groundwork for successful classes in the future is also a key to winning. Brad Underwood and the Illini know this, and that is why they offered a player like Bryce Heard.
Heard is a 6-foot-5 combo guard from Kenwood Academy and resides in Chicago, Illinois. He isn’t rated or ranked by recruiting sites just yet, but that isn’t due to his skill level.
