Last week, news came that star guard Ayo Dosunmu would return to the Illinois hoops squad next season, and more news comes today, this time from the recruiting world. Four-star prospect Kofi Cockburn has signed his national letter of intent to come play basketball at Illinois. Cockburn is a top-50 prospect nation-wide, and a top-10 Center.
Here’s Cockburn’s tweet:
Cockburn comes in ranked as the No. 41 prospect in his class and the 10th-ranked center in the country. He checks in at 6-foot-11, 290 pounds and gives the Illini a body that can really clog the lane. The Jamaican native held offers from Kansas, Tennessee, Oregon, and Indiana among others.
