Illinois basketball has brought in some supremely talented players since Brad Underwood took the reins.
All Illini fans are going to remember players like Ayo Dosunmu and Kofi Cockburn for the rest of time. Some players on the current roster have a chance to be special as well. Ty Rodgers could have a breakout year. It wouldn’t shock me to see someone like Sencire Harris also emerge next season.
For the 2024-25 season, Illinois is getting another one of those special recruits. Morez Johnson Jr. is going to join the program, and he has a chance to be one of the best players in program history.
