Let’s see where the Illini recruiting commits and targets stack up in the new Rivals150 rankings released on Monday afternoon.
The top Illinois commitment right now is Kofi Cockburn. He pledged his commitment to the Illini back on January 6. Heading into Monday, Cockburn was ranked as the No. 31 player in the class of 2019, according to Rivals. In the new rankings, Rivals now has him as the No. 38 player in the class, so he dropped seven spots.
Advice: I wouldn’t worry too much about this drop by Cockburn. It looks like quite a few players dropped in ranking because of some other players moving up a lot.
