Forward Giogri Bezhanishvili signed with Illinois on [DAY].
His commitment to the Fighting Illini was announced on March 27.
At 6-foot-9, 230 pounds, Bezhanishvili adds much-needed size to the Illini. Forward Leron Black decided to turn pro and forward Michael Finke is transferring for his final season.
Bezhanishvili is a plus-passer and ball handler for his size, but the rest of his game will need work to play well at the Big Ten level. He is very raw, but Brad Underwood and his staff are betting on his upside, and his potential in the system.
