One of their most recent offers was to Bayron Matos-Garcia. He is a 6-foot-8, 200-pound power forward from Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 129 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 25 power forward in the nation.
Illinois wasn’t the first program to offer Garcia, though. The likes of Dayton and Florida both came in with offers before the Illini. But, I do believe Brad Underwood got in on Garcia’s recruitment early enough to potentially get in the running for this kid.
