Heading into this past Saturday, the Illini had two scholarships to fill for the upcoming 2019-2020 campaign. I was starting to get worried we weren’t going to be able to fill these two spots. There have been so many graduate transfers turn down the Illini. This also had me worried.
But Illinois kept on the recruiting trail. Just because we didn’t land a few of the graduate transfers we were aiming for doesn’t mean all is lost. The Illini kept fighting and have now landed Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk.
Bosmans-Verdonk is an under-the-radar kid who could really help this program this upcoming season and moving forward.
