Mobley, who is ranked as high as No. 22 in the 2027 class by ESPN, made an official visit on April 25 to Virginia Tech and is also set to go on official visits this summer to Illinois (June 22) and Ohio State (June 27).
If the Illini were to land Mobley, it would be a major recruiting win for considering Mobley has grown up right in the Buckeyes' backyard.
Illinois signed just one freshman in the 2026 class so far. It made perfect sense that the Illini would turn mostly to the transfer portal after Green and Co. signed a top-10 recruiting class in 2026, with Illinois' haul led by five freshmen in five-star guard , four-star guard and four-star forwards , and .
Jackson and Parchment made an immediate impact on an Illini team that finished with a 22-12 record during the this past 2025-26 season and reached the second round of the NCAA tournament, while Alves sat out the season with a knee injury and Finney (Loyola Marymount) and Benson (Cincinnati) have transferred elsewhere this offseason. Finney also missed last season with a knee injury, and Benson played sparingly as a freshman at Illinois.
The Illini have since added LSU transfer guard , a former five-star recruit who will be a sophomore during the 2026-27 season, plus junior-college guard and freshman center from from ŽKK Mega Superbet in Belgrade, Serbia. Brenjo, who is from Nevesinje, Bosnia, is the lone true freshman in the 2026 class for Illinois, although Green said last week she expects to add one more player to bring the Illini roster to the full 15-player allotment for the 2026-27 season.
