Jeremiah Tilmon, DaMonte Williams, and Javon Pickett are also visiting.
Illinois basketball’s biggest guest since Cliff Alexander has arrived on campus. According to Illini Inquirer’s Derek Piper, five-star wing Kris Wilkes (IN) has begun his official visit to Champaign, which is planned to span through Saturday night’s football game and into Sunday morning. The 6-foot-7 prospect is rated as the No. 18 overall player in the country.
Wilkes will get a chance to meet some of his future teammates, too, as future Fighting Illini Jeremiah Tilmon, DaMonte Williams, and Javon Pickett will be on hand to strengthen John Groce’s recruiting pitch.
