## Resource

Illinois is heating up the hoops recruiting scene by targeting top-5 2027 prospect AJ Williams, a 6’7” Georgia phenom who’s already drawing elite comparisons. After dominating the Nike EYBL and playing up with the 17U squad, he’s now firmly in the 2027 class — and Illinois is leading the charge. Williams brings scoring versatility, rim aggression, and rebounding prowess, making him a perfect fit for Champaign. The only caveat? He’s a pure scorer, not a playmaker — meaning Illinois may still need to find a point guard or look to transfers. Still, landing Williams would be a massive boost for the Illini’s future roster.
