Illinois basketball to receive official visit from five-star wing Moussa Kamissoko

Illinois basketball and Brad Underwood continue to make inroads on the prep recruiting trail. Per 247sports’ Dushawn London, five-star wing Moussa Kamissoko has scheduled an official visit to Champaign as part of eight other official visits. Kamissoko is a 6-foot-7-inch forward with a 6-foot-11-inch wingspan who currently plays for Long Island Lutheran in New York. Per London, he is set to visit UConn, Syracuse, Baylor and a number of other high-major schools.

247sports currently lists Kamissoko as a top-20 overall national prospect and the fifth-best small forward in the class of 2027. Recently, four Illinois basketball players were featured in ESPN’s 2027 Mock Draft. If that comes to fruition, the Illini will have to replace a lot of proven production, and a majority of its scoring once the 2027 season arrives.

Brad Underwood and the Illini, however, seem prepared as they have set up official visits with a number of impressive five-star prospects besides Kamissoko. Currently, five-stars NaVorro Bowman Jr., Brady Pettigrew and Darius Wabbington are all scheduled to visit Champaign this fall.
