Basketball Recruiting Analysis - 2022 Wings
Connor Cagley, Illini Guys Basketball and Recruiting Writer
When it comes to the 2022 recruiting class the Illini aren’t in dire need. This is partly due to the fact the Illini have 3 recruits in the 2021 class who will be getting a majority of their minutes at the shooting guard or small forward positions. With less immediate need at these positions, it means Illinois can be more selective of who they take and it allows for a more specialized recruiting pitch. At this point, when evaluating the wings they are recruiting in this class, three stick out as “sure takes” to my eyes.

Basketball Recruiting Analysis - A Tale of Two Centers (and a Power Forward)
One can understand why a true center in the 2021 recruiting class may not have given the Illini a long look. The question of Kofi returning casts a shadow over the roster until the July 7th NBA draft deadline hits.
The class of 2022 should be totally different. Illinois will recruiting with Omar Payne as the only center on the entire roster. The sense of urgency from the Illini staff to find a reliable option in the middle should be something recruits can pick up on. If the staff is getting the right messaging across, recruits should be able to see the opportunity available at this position for Illinois.
Catching Up with Danny Wolf
At the NY2LA Lone Star Invitational tourney in Dallas, I had a chance to catch up with Danny Wolf. Wolf is a 6'10" F for the Mac Irvin Fire 17U team.
Danny is a player that has grown in the last year and a half. He's now a full 6'10" tall but has handles and passing skills that are a step above what you would normally see from a high school big. He sees the court very well and will pass the ball in situations that many bigs would force shots.
