That seems to be Illinois’ strategy right now with Oregon transfer Francis Okoro, who the Illini reportedly reached out to, according to multiple reports.
Oregon transfer Francis Okoro has heard from Illinois, Purdue, Marquette, Texas, Texas A&M, San Diego State, Mizzou, Northwestern, Western Kentucky, Houston, Seton Hall, amongst others, he told @Stockrisers.
