Five-star point guard Ayo Dosunmu committed to Illinois on Thursday night at the Jordan Store in Chicago.
Dosunmu is the first commitment in head coach Brad Underwood’s 2018 class.
The Chicago native also considered Wake Forest in his final two schools.
Dosunmu is listed on Rivals.com as 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds. He is one of the top point guards nationally and an early favorite to win Mr. Basketball in Illinois this season.
Dosunmu visited Illinois on Oct. 13 for an official visit and in June for an unofficial visit. He took an official visit to Wake Forest in late September.
