Illinois Basketball Target Named Top Performer at NBPA Top 100 Camp

Shaw named his top performers of Day 1, and Jervis was listed 10th among them. Shaw noted that Jervis “reinitiated the offense, knocked down shots, and he moved the ball well, consistently elevating the floor of his team.”

Listed as a four-star recruit by 247 Sports, Jervis is the No. 109-rated prospect in the class of 2026. Jervis was offered by coach Brad Underwood and his staff back in March, and the 6-foot-5 guard holds a handful of other offers – including a pair of notable programs in St. John’s and Villanova.

Following the theme of Underwood’s usual targets, Jervis is an elite spot-up shooter, but he sets himself apart with his ability to play on the ball at times, to create for his teammates and to crash the glass.Also worth noting: Fellow Illinois target Quinn Costello was another player named as a top performer at Day 1 of the camp, although he didn’t crack Shaw’s top 10.

Still yet to land a commit from the class of 2026, the Illini could certainly use a player of Jervis’ or Costello's talents – and preferably both – to lead the way and help attract more premier recruits.
