Illinois Basketball: 2027 superstar snags Illini scholarship offer

The recruiting profiles for distant recruiting classes are starting to be published, and the Illinois basketball team finds itself already eyeing a big-time target.

Brad Underwood and the Illini are starting to shift full focus onto the class of 2024. This class is bringing in a generational talent, and we need to add more pieces to the puzzle. But it is never too early to start thinking about the future.

Illinois extended a scholarship offer to a member of the class of 2026 on Monday. If you thought that was an early offer, on the same day, the Illini also came in with an offer to Jaylan Mitchell.
