Recruiting buzz is electric—five-star guard NaVorro Bowman Jr. is set to visit campus—and Ayo Dosunmu’s Hall of Fame induction adds prestige. With national projections calling them a top-three program and freshman Quentin Coleman poised to follow the one-and-done path, this Illini squad has all the ingredients to make noise this season.
