Illinois Basketball: Illini likely not out of the Kahlil Whitney recruitment

Whitney is a wanted player by just about every team in the country and for a good reason. He is a 6-foot-6, 190-pound small forward from Roselle Catholic High School in Roselle, New Jersey. He is rated as a five-star recruit who is the No. 14 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 4 small forward in the nation. Who wouldn’t want this type of elite level player?

On Tuesday evening, Whitney ended up dropping his top eight teams and included Florida State, Kentucky, Louisville, Georgetown, Miami, Oregon, SMU and Illinois. This is an elite list with team names that are familiar to the recruiting world.
