One of the biggest recruits the Illini are in the running for is Coleman Hawkins. Hawkins is a 6-foot-10, 195-pound power forward from Prolific Prep High School in Antelope, California. He is rated as a three-star recruit who is the No. 191 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 31 power forward in the nation. He is also the No. 20 player in the state of California.
Hawkins has started to take his official visits. His first visit was to Illinois this past weekend where he got to experience the campus and the team environment.
