The possibility is very real now, though. The lone recruit for the Illini in the class of 2018 – Ayo Dosunmu – is now nominated as a candidate to be in the McDonald’s All-American Game coming up in 2018. The final cuts will be made on January 16 when the rosters are announced. The roster will consist of 24 players this season and the game will be played on March 28.
Having a recruit nominated isn’t a big surprise to the Illini, but having a legit shot at having a recruit make the team actually is.
