the Illini forward with real upside when healthy
Holly Wilson has shown flashes as a versatile Illinois forward, including a career-high 13-point outing in the 2001 season and a 6-point game earlier that year despite battling a foot injury that limited her minutes. That injury history matters: when she was healthy enough to play, the staff still viewed her as a useful option on the front line. The appeal is the mix of size, toughness, and emerging scoring touch — but the bigger question is availability. If you need a forward who can compete inside and add grit, Wilson’s profile is worth a look.
