A message from Keaton Wagler as he declares for the NBA Draft: “Illini fans are the best in the world… Champaign, Illinois will always hold a special place in my heart.”

Illinois freshman guard Keaton Wagler – ranked No. 5 in ESPN's Top 100 – has declared for the 2026 NBA draft, his agency ProMondo Sports tells me and @JeremyWoo. Wagler led the 28-9 Fighting Illini to the Final Four for the first time since 2005.

Just here hoping for that Rory collapse…

It’s an honor to be a small part of an outstanding district that puts students first! Thank you @ilprincipals for the recognition! Go Plains!
