Illinois Basketball: Top Illini recruiting target talks about the program

One of the biggest recruiting targets for the Illinois basketball team has some glowing remarks about the program.

The class of 2024 is building for the Illini. We now have two commitments, both of which are in the frontcourt.

Morez Johnson is going to lead the way, as he is a top-50 recruit and is one of the best players in the country. Jason Jakstys will help balance out the roster as well. He is a big man who can stretch the floor.

Illinois’ backcourt is going to need some help in 2024, though. We don’t have a commitment yet and will be losing a talented player like Terrence Shannon Jr. after this season.
