The Illinois basketball team is back in the mix for big-time recruit Bryce Hopkins, and his recruiting focus might be narrowing this week.
According to Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers.com, fans of a handful of teams should expect a list cut by Hopkins this week. There isn’t a timetable on a decision, but the list cut indicates to me that Hopkins is starting to think about a decision in the coming months or, potentially, weeks.
