Underwood’s Elite Recruits Shine in 2027 Illinois Class

High‑level AAU circuits are underway, and Illinois commits are already making noise across the college basketball landscape. 2027 signees Quinton Kitt and Mason Martin both delivered 30‑point performances while leading their teams to wins over the weekend. Kitt plays for Meanstreets on the Nike EYBL circuit and currently ranks among the top 10 in points per game in the league. Martin, who plays for Breakaway Basketball on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, is averaging 20.6 points per game through four contests. Both Kitt and Martin are Illinois natives and provide a strong foundation for the Illini’s 2027 recruiting class. truewildgame.com
