Illinois basketball commit Brandin Podziemski got a special surprise at the Milwaukee High School Sports Awards ahead of his college journey.
To say the least, the Illini are landing a special talent in Podziemski, who is from St. John’s Northwestern Academies in Wisconsin. Instead of choosing to stay home, Podziemski remains local and in the Big Ten and will look to carry on a newfound tradition of excellence in Champaign this upcoming winter.
