There are some recruits who will not be signing during the early signing period, but then there will be some recruits who will put ink to paper and make things official. The Illini need players to sign now. The longer they don’t have a signature from recruits, the more likely another coach will try to snatch them away.
Illinois has confirmation that some recruits will be signing. Included in this bunch of players are some of the “top” recruits in the nation. Illinois hasn’t seen talent like this come in from a recruiting class in years. But, they have their sights set on a talented class.
