With two vacant scholarships, Illinois may not be done trying to add players to its 2024-25 roster. Riley has emerged as a target and he has reportedly been considering reclassifying to 2024.

Climbing in the national rankings, Riley made the case for another rankings bump with his performance at the EYBL session in Indianapolis. Running with Uplay Canada, Illinois coaches watched him poor in 42 points against Team Durant.
