Rookies Reach 20 Illinois has two freshman guards who have already reached the 20-point marker. Mark Smith scored 21 vs. DePaul in just his third collegiate game on Nov. 17. Trent Frazier joined the club on Wednesday, with 20 points vs. Longwood. They are the first Illini duo to score 20 as freshmen since the 2009-10 season, when Brandon Paul (three times-22 vs. SIU Edwardsville, 11/13/09, 20 vs. Northern Illinois, 11/17/09 & 20 at Clemson, 12/2/09) and D.J. Richardson (20 at Penn State, 1/27/10) accomplished the feat.

Illini Sign Five-Star Point Guard The Fighting Illini inked five-star point guard Ayo Dosunmu (EYE-oh dough-SUE-moo) of Chicago Morgan Park High School to a national letter of intent during the fall signing period. Dosunmu had a dominating junior season for the Mustangs, averaging 22 points, nine assists, seven rebounds and two steals. The first-team all-state selection led Morgan Park to the IHSA state championship in class 3A, despite an injury in the semifinals that kept him out of the title game. He also helped Morgan Park to the Public League Red South title. Dosunmu shined during the summer as well, excelling at the NBPA Top 100 camp and Nike Basketball Academy and on the AAU circuit with the Mac Irvin Fire. “We feel we are getting the best point guard in the country in Ayo Dosunmu,” coach Brad Underwood said. “He possesses a number of traits that have elevated him to elite status. He is a proven winner, a great competitor, comes from a tremendous family, is a high-character young man, and has outstanding work ethic. Along with being a perfect fit for our system and style, Ayo embraces the power of Fighting Illini basketball and joining a program with such great history and tradition. It is extremely important to him to wear the “I” and represent our state.” Following the commitment of 2017 Illinois Mr. Basketball recipient Mark Smith just six weeks after taking over in Champaign, Underwood has made another statement on the recruiting trail by landing the top 25-ranked Dosunmu, a McDonald’s All-America Game candidate and the highest-rated guard to join the Fighting Illini program since Dee Brown signed in November 2001.

9 // 2017-18 Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball Lucas Emerges at Point The Illini’s lone true freshman last season, Te’Jon Lucas eventually took over the reigns at the point guard position. He started the final 15 games and ended up leading the team in assists on the season (3.1 apg). Lucas is a tenacious defender who provides energy on the court. He also will be counted on to provide leadership to his teammates. Nichols and Jordan Bolster UI Depth Kipper Nichols had a number of bright spots during his shortened redshirt freshman campaign last season. He averaged 5.3 points and 3.3 rebounds during conference play, breaking out with 13 points in a home win over Michigan and scoring a career-high 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting versus Minnesota. Nichols is a strong, physical player who can guard multiple positions. Aaron Jordan had a great offseason and has worked hard to challenge for a spot in the rotation entering his junior season. Jordan has made gains in all areas of strength and conditioning and has the ability to knock down shots and defend.

Grad Transfer Alstork a Proven Scorer One Illini who could help replace the loss of scoring production is senior Mark Alstork. The Wright State graduate ranked third in the Horizon League last year, averaging 19.0 points. He netted double figures in 27 of 32 games, with 17 outings of 20-plus points. He also set a school record with 176 free throws while draining 70 three- pointers. While known for his scoring, Alstork will be counted on to help the Illini in all areas and has that ability as he also averaged 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season for the Raiders.

Freshman Influx Added to the mix of returnees is a talented and promising five-player freshman class. Underwood’s first recruit was a big one in Edwardsville’s Mark Smith. The first Illinois Mr. Basketball to select the Fighting Illini since 2010, Smith averaged 21.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.1 steals as a senior. Formerly a multi-sport athlete, he did not focus solely on basketball until his senior year of high school. Smith is a powerful, skilled player with multi-positional skills and strong work ethic. The Illini inked one of the top players in the state of Florida in top-100 recruit Trent Frazier. He averaged 27.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists as a senior. Frazier was an electric scorer in high school, tallying a school-record 52 points in a game and leaving as Wellington High’s all-time leading scorer with 1,742 points in three varsity seasons. Frazier has great quickness and deep shooting range. The third guard in the recruiting class is Da’Monte Williams from Peoria Manual. The son of former Illini All-American Frank Williams, Da’Monte is coming off a torn ACL that abruptly cut short his senior season after three games. He averaged 15.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists as a junior, leading Manual to a third-place finish in state. Williams has outstanding passing ability and vision and the length and competitiveness to be a strong defender. Underwood signed two frontcourt players during the summer. Greg Eboigbodin is an athletic, 6-9 forward from Nigeria who arrived in the U.S. for high school. He attended University of Detroit Jesuit High, where he first began playing basketball. Eboigbodin improved each year and ended up averaging 13.8 points, 13.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks while shooting 66 percent from the field as a senior. He has added 25 pounds to his frame since June while continuing to learn and grow each day. Matic Vesel is a skilled, 6-10 forward from Slovenia. He has played with the Slovenian youth national teams, participating in the FIBA U18 European Championships in 2016 and the FIBA U20 European Championships this past summer. Vesel arrived on campus in August and joined the Illini at the beginning of the fall semester. Vesel has strong fundamentals and the ability to pass and shoot. He will look to add muscle and weight while experiencing strength training for the first time.
