GILBERT, Ariz. — Shon Robinson transferred from Morgan Park to Higley High School in Gilbert between his freshman and sophomore seasons. Now, the Chicago native has a reason to perhaps return home in a few years.
Robinson tweeted out he received an Illinois offer early Thursday morning. The currently unranked Class of 2020 prospect also holds offers from Arizona State, DePaul, Florida State, Grand Canyon, UTEP and New Mexico.
The bulk of Illinois’ 2020 offers have been to bigs and wings so far. Robinson, a 6-foot-9, 180-pound forward, fits in among the former and joins the likes of Isaiah Cottrell, Jaemyn Brakefield, Hunter Dickinson and Xavier Foster as Illini big man targets in the 2020 class.
