Pair of Illinois Natives Set to Visit the Illini This Weekend

Brady Pettigrew - 6'3 CG - Bolingbrook

Bolingbrook five-star combo guard Brady Pettigrew is set to make his official visit to Champaign this weekend as Illinois continues to pursue the highly regarded prospect.

Coming off visits to Michigan, Indiana, and Florida, Pettigrew will follow those trips with his upcoming visit to Illinois. The trip will give Pettigrew an opportunity to spend time around the Illini coaching staff, experience the program firsthand, and further develop his relationship with his home-state program.

Pettigrew also has scheduled visits to North Carolina on October 9, Kentucky on October 23, BYU on October 30th, Ohio State on November 6th, and Arkansas on January 1.

Grant Smith - 6'6 W - Lyons Township

Grant Smith, a talented and polished wing, has a busy stretch of visits ahead, including an upcoming trip to Illinois.

Most recently, Smith was on campus at Northwestern and will now turn his attention to two more visits: Illinois on October 3 and Yale on October 9. Smith’s versatility and skill set have made him an intriguing name in the Illinois recruiting landscape. The next few weeks will provide valuable opportunities for the talented wing to get a closer look at each program as his recruitment continues to develop.
