Illinois Basketball Offers Top Prospect Skip Alston

Illinois basketball coach Brad Underwood and his staff have offered a scholarship to Reese Alston, a highly ranked Class of 2027 point guard and son of former NBA player and streetball legend Rafer 'Skip' Alston. Reese Alston, a versatile guard known for his driving and shooting ability, is drawing interest from several top programs, including Houston, Texas Tech, and Texas A&M. Meanwhile, Indiana University has bolstered its roster by adding Tayton Conerway, a seasoned transfer from Troy who excelled defensively and offensively, earning Sun Belt Player of the Year honors and ranking among the nation's leaders in steals and assists. Conerway's addition marks the sixth player IU has acquired from the transfer portal this spring under coach Darian DeVries. These developments highlight active recruiting and roster building efforts in college basketball programs aiming to strengthen their teams for future seasons.
