Illinois wants to add shooters to its roster, and newly offered 2019 guard Lester Quinones from Newark (NJ) St. Benedict Prep is a big-time shot maker.

The Illini just offered Quinones this week, with assistant coach Orlando Antigua heading up the recruitment. Quinones says the Illini see him as more than just a spot-up shooter.

"They are very interested, and they really show a lot of appreciation for my game,” Quinones said. “I know most people want me as a shooter but there's more to my game than that. Illinois can see that part as well.”
