In the class of 2019, the Illinois basketball program received one of the best big men in the country when Kofi Cockburn pledged his commitment to the Orange and Blue.

A 6-foot-10, 290-pound center coming out of Oak Hill Academy, Kofi had all the potential in the world. From his first game with the Illini, the big man has lived up to his top 50 billing as well.
