Matthew Murrell took to Twitter to announce that he has received an offer from the Illini. This is a big offer for 2020 because of where he ranked nationally and how many scholarships he has received over the last few months.
Murrell is a 6-foot-2, 175-pound shooting guard from Whitehaven High School in Memphis, Tennessee. He is rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 95 player in the class of 2020 and the No. 24 shooting guard in the nation.
Just in the last two months, Murrell has received offers from teams like Florida, Tennessee and Texas A&M to go along with the one from the Illini on Thursday.
