The spring signing period ended on Wednesday, with Illinois officially having 10 players on scholarship right now as commit Bernard Kouma remains unsigned. Beat writer SCOTT RICHEY looks at the roster breakdown at the moment for the 2019-2020 Illini, picks his starting five if the season started today and more:
THE STARTERS
Ayo Dosunmu
So., Guard
His role in 2019-2020 is ... pretty straightforward. Lead Illinois back to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 scoring option.
He needs to improve ... offensive efficiency. Dosunmu will get plenty of touches. Finishing them — at the rim, beyond the arc and at the line — is important.
