CHAMPAIGN — Illinois was one of the first high major programs to offer Lincoln Park and Mac Irvin Fire wing Terrence Shannon this spring. Then the 6-foot-7, 185-pound forward's recruitment blew up.
The Illini are still in the mix after Shannon cut his list to a top four Friday evening. The four-star recruit — ranked as high as No. 72 in the 2019 class by Rivals — also included DePaul, Florida State and Maryland in his final four schools.
Shannon's profile rose to the national level with his play for Mac Irvin Fire this spring and summer.
