Who is Will Riley?

Per Alex Kyi– Riley is a 6 foot 8 wing out of Malvern, Pennsylvania who is currently performing at an extremely high level on the summer EYBL tour. Per the 247sports composite, Riley is the 16th ranked prospect in the class of 2025. His offer list includes big-name schools such as Arkansas, Kentucky, and Alabama.  Based on this list of schools, Orlando Antigua is undoubtedly the main reason that Illinois is in for Riley.
