As Illinois begins its preseason practices ahead of the first exhibition on Oct. 20, the Illini had a big-named guest on Friday.
The son of Illini legend Kendall Gill — Phoenix — took an official visit at Illinois.
A 2025 guard from St. Ignatius in Chicago, Gill is a top-priority for Brad Underwood and one of the best players in Illinois in his class.
