The Illinois football team could be landing another top recruit for the class of 2024 on Saturday.
Bret Bielema and the Illini coaching staff have been hard at work trying to land another top-50 recruiting class. The 2022 and 2023 classes both finished inside the top 50, and now the class of 2024 is right there, as it is currently ranked No. 44 in the country.
With 16 commitments, there is still a long way to go before the 2024 class is buttoned up, though. There are still plenty of big fish left in the pond, and the Illini might be catching one of those fish in the form of Ca’Lil Valentine.
