There are many players on the list of potential commitments for the Illini, but the one player they need to dump all of their resources into is Kahlil Whitney.
Whitney is a 6-foot-6, 190-pound small forward from Roselle Catholic High School in Roselle, New Jersey. He is rated as a four-star recruit who is the No. 28 player in the class of 2019 and the No. 6 small forward in the nation.
Just yesterday, Whitney was only ranked as the No. 57 player in the class of 2019, according to 247Sports. But, they came out with new rankings on Thursday and this sent Whitney skyrocketing up the board.
