Illinois Basketball: Kofi Cockburn would fill void for the Illini

Kofi Cockburn decided to cut his list down to just 12 programs and included South Carolina, Syracuse, Kentucky, UConn, Oregon, St. John’s, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Cincinnati, LSU, Florida State and Illinois. This is an extremely tough list with a lot of great recruiters who are all vying for his commitment.

There is a reason Cockburn is a wanted man. He is a 6-foot-10, 255-pound center from Christ The King Regional High School in Middle Village, New York, but he has now transferred over to Oak Hill Academy this year.
