The biggest AAU tournament in the world is being held right now, and the Illinois basketball team has numerous recruits they are keeping tabs on.
The talent level that the Nike EYBL has amassed is quite impressive. They not only have the Peach Jam, which features the elite teams in the AAU league but there are also three other tournaments going on, which is great for development. It also gives teams, like the Illini, a chance to see a wide range of players from across the country.
Illinois’ coaching staff will be eyeing quite a few talented recruits at these tournaments, but there are a few players who I think should be the top priority right now.
