Epps, who de-committed from Providence in May, chose the Illini over offers from UConn, Kansas, NC State, Arkansas, DePaul, Florida, Hampton, Maryland Eastern Shore, Norfolk State, Old Dominion, Saint Louis, VCU and Virginia Tech, among others.

Epps took official visits to UConn, NC State and Kansas before ultimately committing to Illinois.

Ranked by 247Sports.com as the No. 13 combo guard and No. 61 overall prospect in the nation, Epps joins shooting guards Sencire Harris and Reggie Bass in the Illini’s 2022 recruiting class.
