Illinois just scored a major win for its tennis program—five-star recruit Jon Gamble is officially joining the Illini. What’s wild is that Gamble, who started tennis at age 4 in Las Vegas, nearly went elsewhere until a Florida coach nudged him to check out Illinois. After visiting, he was so impressed by the team’s vibe and facilities that he canceled all other college visits. Now, he’s training hard in Florida, aiming to rack up ATP points before hitting campus in 2026. How do you think this kind of early commitment shapes a young athlete’s journey? #Sports #IllinoisTennis #CollegeSports
