Illinois Basketball: Illini target EJ Liddell sets commitment date

On Saturday night, EJ Liddell took to Twitter to announce that he will be committing to a program on Monday night at 6:00 PM Central Time. This is when he will make a decision between either Missouri, Ohio State and Illinois.

Liddell is a 6-foot-7, 220-pound power forward from Belleville West High School in Belleville, Illinois. He is rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 48 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 10 power forward in the nation. This isn’t just any regular recruit for the Illini, though. They need Liddell for many reasons.
