Illinois Basketball Lands Stars: Coleman & Morillo

0:00On April 25th, Illinois basketball just landed a big one with Quinson Coleman's commitment right before the final four, sparking major hype among fans. This came from Principia and Missouri dominated his senior year, snagging a state title, and he's pegged to make waves as a freshman in the 20, 26-27 season. Meanwhile, don't sleep on Lucas Marillo, who locked in his pledge back in October and signed in November. He bought out through his senior campaign, too, putting up numbers that turned heads. Fans are buzzing hardest about Coleman, but Marillo's got that quiet fire, ready to contribute right away for the Alini next season. It's got everyone rethinking the depth of this incoming class. Fresh off that, Marillo suited up for Team World at the Nike hoop summit this month, holding his own against top international talent. Hopero Insight even dropped an interview with him this week, breaking down his game. With these two freshmen in the mix, Illinois is stacking the deck for some real momentum. Keep an eye on Champagne, as they build for the future.
