CHAMPAIGN — Illinois is in the midst of a crucial part of the 2018 recruiting cycle with official visits happening and decisions perhaps being made before November’s early signing period opens.
But that doesn’t mean the Illini aren’t making moves for 2019. They made another late Monday with an offer to four-star Bettendorf, Iowa, guard D.J. Carton.

Carton, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound point guard, was ranked the No. 37 player in the 2019 class in Scout’s latest top 100 released Tuesday.
