Related Topics: Illinois

Brad Underwood has done a great job in the short amount of time he has been the head coach of this great program. He immediately signed a coaching staff that hit the ground running with recruiting. They have cast a wide but specific net over a group of recruits for 2018 that have a chance to be one of the best in program history.

The strong recruiting presence Underwood brought to the table also helped retain Da’Monte Williams and Trent Frazier, and he brought in Mark Smith and two big men in Greg Eboigbodin and Matic Vesel. This class of 2017 is going to be the foundation for future Illini success.
