Brad Underwood got the job done with his 2023 class

The Illini enjoyed yet another uneventful signing day.

The coaching staff had three verbal commitments coming into Signing Day 2022. All three young men signed on the dotted line. Once again, according to 247, Illinois has a top-20 national recruiting class.

Ho-hum.

This has become the expectation under Coach Underwood. When star assistants Orlando Antigua and Chin Coleman left, the expectation was that unless Creighton’s Alan Huss joined the staff, there would be a giant recruiting hole. But the current assistant corps of Tim Anderson, Chester Frazier, and Geoff Alexander each landed signatures from a prospect in this year’s excellent class.
