Two five-star prospects plan visits to Illinois basketball

Top high school prospects NaVorro Bowman Jr. and Dylan Betts have scheduled visits to Illinois. Bowman, the 10th-ranked player in the 2027 class, will make his stop before checking out UConn, Texas, and Arizona. Betts, who ranks 11th in the 2028 class, is set to visit Illinois from September 18-20 as part of his tour that includes schools like Michigan and North Carolina. This marks a notable shift for Illinois coach Brad Underwood, who previously focused on foreign players and transfers. Illinois has shown rising interest from talented recruits.
