CHAMPAIGN — Illinois loaded up on guards with its 2018 class, pushing wings and bigs as the priorities for the Illini’s 2019 recruiting. They added to their board Tuesday with an offer to Michigan native Tray Jackson.
Jackson, a 6-foot-8, 200-pound forward, is ranked as a four-star prospect by both Rivals and 247Sports, and he’s ranked just outside the top 100 by both — at Nos. 105 and 106, respectively, by the two recruiting services. He has other offers from the likes of Boston College, Creighton, DePaul, Loyola Chicago, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Seton Hall, Texas Tech, Virginia Tech and Xavier.
