Back in May, I put together a projected Illini lineup for the 2020-2021 campaign. In this article, I had Tevian Jones started at the No. 3 spot for the Orange and Blue. Behind him was two open scholarship spots that needed to be filled by either the class of 2019 or 2020. Illinois filled one of those spots with the addition of Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk on Saturday.
Bosmans-Verdonk is a 6-foot-8, 225-pound forward from Belgium. He is a member of the class of 2019 and signed with the Illini on Saturday. This addition, while under the radar, could pay off for the Illini in the near future.
