2027 Illinois commit Quinton Kitt schedules official visit to Champaign

The Illinois basketball program will get another opportunity to host one of its 2027 commits in Champaign this fall.

According to 247Sports’ Dushawn London, Illinois commit Quinton Kitt will take an official visit to Illinois on Oct. 22.

Kitt has been committed to Illinois since November, when the East Peoria native chose the Illini over a number of high-major offers, including Iowa, Michigan and Northwestern. He became the first member of Illinois’ 2027 recruiting class.

The 6-foot-6 forward has continued to rise up the national recruiting rankings since his commitment. 247Sports Composite currently has Kitt rated as a four-star prospect and the No. 74 player nationally.

Kitt visited Illinois last August. At the time, Kitt told TCR that he was looking for a program that could develop him, help him reach the next level and compete for March Madness appearances.

“I want a school that can develop me and get me to the next level,” Kitt told TCR following his visit. “I want to help a program win games, play in March Madness and ultimately get to the next level.”

Kitt is now joined in Illinois’ 2027 class by four-star Neuqua Valley guard Mason Martin, another highly regarded in-state prospect who committed to the Illini earlier this year.
