CHAMPAIGN — Two open scholarships for the 2018-19 season and a need to add to its frontcourt means Illinois is still pursuing 2018 targets. The latest per multiple reports by Elevate Hoops and 247Sports? Ukrainian big man Dima Zdor.
Zdor, a 6-foot-10, 215-pound forward, holds eight other offers, including Arkansas, Austin Peay, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, Holy Cross, Lehigh, UMass and Utah State. He joins 6-9 Kansas forward Parker Braun, who took an unofficial visit to Champaign last week after official visits to Ole Miss and LSU, on Illinois’ 2018 recruiting board.
