Illinois basketball just got a big boost for its future lineup—Naperville Neuqua Valley’s Mason Martin is officially joining the Fighting Illini’s Class of 2027. Martin, a 6’5” guard, is lighting up the court this season, averaging 19 points and hitting 42% from deep. His quick release and effortless shooting have made him a standout statewide. With East Peoria’s Quinton Kitt already on board, Illinois is building a strong in-state foundation. What do you think—will this homegrown talent help bring the Illini back to the top? #Sports #IllinoisBasketball #FightingIllini
