Rank 'em: Top 10 Illini targets not on EYBL circuit

While beat writer SCOTT RICHEY spent his weekend in the Indianapolis suburbs covering the Nike EYBL, other shoe brand leagues have players Illinois is interested in signing. The 10 best:

1. Jalen Suggs, Grassroots Sizzle (UAA)

Lovie Smith should be interested in Suggs, too, given UI's quarterback woes. As a point guard, he's averaging 19.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists.

2. Max Christie, Illinois Wolves (UAA)

Rolling Meadows product, a top 10 2021 recruit nationally, is the Wolves' leading scorer (16.7 ppg) and rebounder (5.1 rpg) so far this spring.
