Jayden Epps added to the Illinois basketball recruiting momentum on Tuesday when he pledged to the Orange and Blue.

The Illini landing Epps is huge for the program because depth was a slight issue in certain areas of the court. Epps solves those issues, though. He is a top 70 recruit who will come in and be a big piece to the puzzle from day one.
