Illinois Basketball: Upcoming weekend is big for both Illini programs

Not one, not two, but three top 100 players are coming up to Champaign to see what the Illini program is all about. The headliner of the visit is big man, Oscar Tshiebwe.

Tshiebwe is a 6-foot-9, 250-pound center from Kennedy Catholic High School in Hermitage, Pennsylvania. He is rated as a five-star recruit who is the No. 22 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 8 center in the nation. In addition to Tshiebwe, Illinois also has two big-time forwards visiting as well.

EJ Liddell has been one of the main targets for the Illini for quite some time.
