Fighting Illini basketball is about an hour away from finding out if they’ll add another member to their 2017 recruiting class.
Four-star guard Mark Smith will announce his college decision at 6:00pm CT tonight, and Illinois fans will have an opportunity to follow along with the festivities from home.
WCIA will have a video stream available, and audio broadcasts will be provided by both ESPN and WDWS. Links for all options have been included below.

If you’re a believer in the 247Sports Crystal Ball, you’ll be happy to know that the predictions for Mark Smith currently sit at 82% for Illinois and 18% for Michigan State. Take that with a grain of salt, obviously, but it certainly seems as if the Fighting Illini are on the verge of some good news tonight.
Happy Mark Smith day. May the hats be ever in your favor.
