Too early to start thinking about 2020 recruiting? Never, and the Illinois coaching staff is getting looks at more of those prospects this month.
1. Jalen Johnson, Sun Prairie (Wis.)
After averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds as a sophomore for the Cardinals, the 6-8, 215-pound wing played this spring and summer for a stacked Phenom University squad on the Nike EYBL E16 circuit.
2. Isaiah Jackson, Old Redford Academy (Mich.)
The Illini offered the 6-9 forward in June before missing out on 2019 guard Rocket Watts — his high school teammate in Detroit.
