Recruiting: Coveted big man on campus this weekend
By Kedric Prince – IlliniGuys.com Director of Recruiting
December 10, 2021
Akil Watson, a 6-foot-9, 200-pound small forward from Roselle, New Jersey, is one of the nation's top forwards, ranked nationally in the top 60 in the 2023 class. It is no longer a secret that the Illinois basketball staff has put themselves in the best position in over a decade when it comes to recruiting. They are consistently landing top four or five recruits, which will pay dividends on the court.
Watson is a recruit Illinois has put the hard press on and is a prospect this staff would love to land. This weekend, it is Watson who will take a very hard look at Illinois with a visit to campus and a deeper dive into all that this program - and the U of I community - has to offer.

Recruiting class retrospective
I used to write short reviews of our incoming recruits for a different website, and over the years I've found it fun to look back and see where I was right or wrong. This year, I decided to let everyone else in on the fun with each of the members of Illinois' outgoing class.
Tony Adams- Before: I wrote how much I loved how this young man hits from the safety position. He has a pretty good film as a wide receiver, but if you put him at that position you'd be wasting his biggest asset. I can see why he doesn't have many high major offers due to the lack of competition and his difficult projection because he has the size of a corner but he only played safety in high school and that appears to fit his strengths.
