What this episode covers

Cole Kelly is rapidly becoming one of the biggest basketball recruits in the country — and Illinois was the FIRST program to believe in him. In this episode, I break down why the 6-foot-7 Neuqua Valley star should be one of Brad Underwood’s top priorities in the 2028 class. From his elite performances to his advanced playmaking, scoring ability, defensive versatility, and the important Mason Martin connection, this recruitment could become one of the most important in-state battles of the next few years.--------------------------Join the Talk Illini Discord! https://discord.gg/cN9XCg9SReach out to [email protected] for business inquiries!--------------------------"Talk Illini" is your go-to source for all things Illinois Fighting Illini, hosted by Sunny Verma & Jonathan Rhoades in partnership with Orange and Blue News and On3.
