Illinois Trails Maryland, Others in Recruitment of 2026 Target Billy White III

Billy White’s summer is off to a hot start. In the month of June, the four-star wing from the class of 2026 picked up at least eight offers – including those from such top programs as Illinois, Kansas and St. John’s.

With White entering his senior year of high school in approximately two months and the clock ticking for him to find the right college home, he has scheduled a handful of visits – but none of them put him in Champaign.

Thus far, White has taken only one visit, and it was to Texas A&M, back in January under the previous coaching staff (Buzz Williams). But White has set up visits with Maryland (which recently hired Williams), LSU, TCU, SMU and Oklahoma State.And now, according to Joe Tipton of On3 Sports, the sweet-shooting White has scheduled yet another visit, this time to a school that offered him during the month of June: Virginia.
