Illinois Basketball: Illini putting full-court press on Drew Timme recruitment

On Monday morning, Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers reported that Illinois is in today to see Drew Timme. This is important news because it means the Illini still believe they have hope they can land him. I think he is one of the main targets for the Orange and Blue right now as well.

Timme is a 6-foot-10, 215-pound power forward from Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas. He is rated as a five-star recruit who is the No. 29 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 8 power forward in the nation.

The decision for Timme is coming down to Alabama, Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Arizona and Illinois.
