Whitney should be the biggest target for the Illini right now. This kid is going to be special, and I want to see him in the Orange and Blue. He is a 6-foot-7, 195-pound wing player from Roselle Catholic High School in Roselle, New Jersey. He is rated as a five-star recruit who is the No. 23 player in the class of 2019.
In a recent interview with Scott Burgess of Prep Hoops, Whitney divulged some more information about his recruitment. He was still pretty close to the vest with his top eight, though. But, he did mention that he was coming out with that top eight after he talks with his parents.
