It has been one of the worst-kept secrets in all of high school basketball recruiting that Jeremy Fears Jr. really likes Illinois. Although it is not a lock because so many things can change for a student

For the first time since the adoption of it, Illinois will hold the Land of Lincoln Trophy after a convincing victory over Northwestern.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Owen Carney has certainly accomplished a lot in his five-year college career but his legacy as an Illinois football player might just be what he wrote on a white dry erase board. 

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- If this is the last image for Brandon Peters as an Illinois football player, it is most certainly a good one.

The sixth-year quarterback finished his final collegiate regular season game with 242 yards through the air and a touchdown in a 47-14 victory in the annual in-state rivalry game vs. Northwestern. After his final performance as a player in Champaign, Peters also got to joke that the other university that he earned a bachelor’s degree from in 2019 won a relatively big rivalry game on Saturday referencing in a low-key way Michigan’s 42-27 win over Ohio State. 

“Don’t get wrong because I’ll always consider myself an Illini but yeah, I think I’m the only guy in that locker room that went 2-0 today,” Peters said.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - After adding three dynamic athletes in the backcourt and on the wing earlier this fall, the Illini found their big man in the transfer portal when former top 100 recruit Dain Dainja visited and pulled the trigger. Dainja transferred from Baylor after sitting out as a freshman and battling an injury that caused him to struggle this season in three games before jumping into the portal.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The proof of the University of Illinois football program heading in a positive direction can come from nothing more than where Samuel M'Pemba started his weekend. 

M'Pemba, a five-star athlete in the 2023 recruiting class, was on the Illinois campus Friday for an unofficial visit as he begins to narrow down the many scholarship offers he’s received since last spring. 

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound multi-talented athlete currently plays at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., while being listed as a wide receiver while lining up mostly as a tight end or H-back for the nationally-recognized prep school but most college programs are recruiting him at the next level as a stand-up pass rusher.
