The #Illini have already landed one half of Neuqua’s Valley’s star in-state duo, and they’re now trying to reel in 2028 four-star wing Cole Kelly, a longtime top priority.
“I do like the way they play, and they run a good program for sure.”

Swung by the Riverside-Brookfield summer shootout to catch a few games today, including Neuqua Valley and #illini G commit Mason Martin.
He’s been open in the corner a lot more than I expected him to be given his shooting ability from deep.

"There ain't no doubt about me. I'll work 'til I can't anymore."
Have a feeling #Illini fans are going to love 2027 QB Sladen Shack.
"I'm a small town guy, growing up in the country. Football is all I eat, sleep and breath for my whole life. I'm going to work hard, I'm a competitor."
