RIP Stacey King

[Cade Newman 3⭐️ @CadeNewman17]

Very grateful to announce my commitment to the University of Illinois! Couldn’t have done this without the support system behind me, my parents, friends, family, Ben Durbin, Coach Pezzetti, Coach Booth, and everyone else who has impacted my career! Super excited for this opportunity! Let’s get to work! ILL🟠🔵 @IlliniFootball @BretBielema @_CoachElliott @canewman22 @achsjagfb @Turbo_Durbo1 @AdamBooth1085 @Recruit2Illini @IllinoisRivals

🧡💙If you are in the Pacific Northwest next week, come support your Illini on their quest at the NCAA championship finals! 🧡💙

[Joey Wagner @mrwagner25]

Brad Underwood never doubted the #Illini were a top program in the nation, but they had to "kind of the fake it 'til you make it."

Now Illinois is back there, led by a coach with plenty of bravado.

"We had to change the way people thought of us."

The 30 Greatest College Basketball Programs of All-Time 🏆

Through 3 games at the U18 Americup, Quentin Coleman leads Team USA in minutes, leads the team in rebounding & offensive efficiency, and is 3rd in scoring and 3rd in assists on a team full of five-star recruits. Clear proof that he's a top-10 player in his class.

[Andrew Fulk @fulknA]

Reminder that Notre Dame lost to the MAC school from Illinois very recently.

NEW: Illinois' Bret Bielema calls for Notre Dame to join a conference following AD Pete Bevacqua's "super league" comments👀

It’s been 2 games for USA Basketball in the FIBA U18 Americup 🇺🇸

The 3 best players for me…

Quentin Coleman (Illinois)
Adan Diggs (‘27)
Colben Landrew (UConn)

3 others who caught my eye…

Caleb Gaskins (Miami)
Bruce Branch III (BYU)
Davion Thompson (‘27)

[Logan Adams @LoganPAdams]

Quentin Coleman (Illinois) hasn’t found his shot in FIBA U18 AmeriCup play yet, but he’s been Team USA’s best player and prospect.

Outside of scoring, Coleman has put up:
- 12.5 REB (5.0 OREB)
- 3.5 AST (7.0 AST/TO)
- +63 in two GP

ELITE @QuentinC_1!

What a day.

Today at the Vatican, I met Pope Leo XIV & presented him with a @IlliniFootball jersey: No. 14, "Leo" on the back.

I never imagined there'd be a Southsider leading 1.4b Catholics around the world. Chicago shows up in the most unexpected places. Very grateful.

I couldn't get the U18 box score to load last night so I couldn't devour the Quentin Coleman stat line like I wanted to. But I got it to work this morning.

Yes, the rebounding total is crazy for a guard, but THAT PLUS/MINUS THO
