Top Illini recruit not on invite list
Highly touted Illinois men's basketball signee Ayo Dosunmu is not part of the McDonald's All-American boys' game, as a roster released Tuesday did not include the five-star Morgan Park guard. Or any Illinois prep product.
Dosunmu — who won't play for at least two weeks to recover from an ankle injury, according to a Tuesday night tweet from the Mac Irvin Fire, his AAU program — was aiming to become the first future Illini since Jereme Richmond in 2010 to crack the prestigious showcase.
That was also the last year before 2018 in which the event was not held at Chicago's United Center. This year's showdown is slated for Atlanta's Philips Arena in late March.
