At this point in the recruiting game, it is hard to predict where each player is going to commit. The recruits for the class of 2021 still have two years of high school basketball remaining and another year of summer AAU ball as well. That is a lot of time to improve and earn even more scholarships.
But 247Sports updated their class of 2021 rankings on Tuesday. These rankings feature the top talent in the nation, which includes some of the Illini targets. These players would be able to help continue the building process of the Illinois basketball program back to where it was just a few decades ago.
