Underwood’s Illinois Recruits Shine: Kitt, Martin Lead 2027 Class

High‑level AAU circuits are in full swing, and Illinois commits are already making noise across the college basketball landscape. 2027 signees Quinton Kitt and Mason Martin both delivered 30‑point performances while leading their teams to wins over the weekend.

Kitt, from Meanstreets on the Nike EYBL circuit, ranks in the league’s top 10 for points per game. Martin, playing for Breakaway Basketball on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, averages 20.6 points per game through four contests. Both are Illinois natives and provide a strong foundation for the Illini’s 2027 recruiting class. saltysenoritaaz.com
