In-state 2027 prospect Quinton Kitt commits to Illinois

Brad Underwood has a lot to be thankful for on Thursday.

In-state prospect Quinton Kitt committed to Illinois on Thanksgiving, according to a report from Joe Tipton.

“I’m ready to work and represent my state,” Kitt told Tipton.

A three-star recruit out of East Peoria H.S., Kitt is one of the top young prospects in the state for the 2027 class.

Kitt, a 6-foot-6 forward, visited Champaign in August, and talked to TCR’s Robby Nardini after the visit.

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