When you look at the Illinois basketball recruiting class for 2026, you see one of the highest-ranked classes in the country.
As of right now, the Illini sit No. 7 in the country when it comes to the class of 2026. But that is mostly due to other programs not having commits just yet.
Illinois, on the other hand, has two commits. Ethan Brown and Landon Davis have both pledged to the Orange and Blue. While having them on board is awesome, Illinois can’t move forward with just those two in the class of 2026.
