They currently have 17 players committed to play for the Illini next season and four of those players will actually enroll early so they can participate in Spring Practice.
Among the 17 commitments for Lovie Smith and the Illini, there are three wide receivers in that bunch.
These wide receivers are going to help build the Illinois offense into a powerhouse that we haven’t seen since, potentially, the Kurt Kittner era.
The current wide receiver commitments are Carmoni Green, who enrolled early, Ricky Smalling, who is a four-star prospect, and Kendall Smith.
These three make up a pretty solid wide receiver class as it is, but the Illini aren’t done with just these three, though.
