With several of the bigger names in Illinois high school basketball off to prep schools for their senior years, including James Brown (North Carolina commit), Nojus Indrusaitis (Iowa State commit) and Cole Certa (Notre Dame commit), there are currently only eight in-state Division I commitments in the senior class.
