CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The Illinois men’s basketball program continues to build its future with the addition of 2026 forward Landon Davis, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound standout from Waukee, Iowa, who spoke with IlliniGuys about why he chose to join the orange and blue.
Davis, a skilled and versatile frontcourt player, received his first Division I offer from Illinois, a moment he won’t forget. Illinois assistant coach Zach Hamer made the call, and Davis admitted the offer left him more than thrilled.
Davis visited Champaign last year during a football game, he told IlliniGuys, and that early interest laid the foundation for his decision.
