Each fall, PBR Illinois has been making the trek around the state to gain intel on the state’s bustling JUCO scene. The recruiting landscape these past few years has reshaped the way four-year Division I, II, and III programs are stocking their incoming classes, and it’s resulted in generating an even more talented pool of players opting for the JUCO route – especially in a state like Illinois, where the JUCO atmosphere is as competitive as any other state in the nation.
This page contains insight into the Illinois' healthy JUCO scene, complete with scouting reports and data collected at the Scout Day events we've been hosting throughout the fall of 2023.
This year's Puma Classic – held at Grand Park in Westfield, Ind., on Sept. 15 and 16 – provided us with an ample look at the best JUCO players in the area, predominantly from Illinois-based programs. We published thorough coverage from this year's event, of which you can find below, highlighting more than 20 of the event's top position players, as well as over 40 of its top pitching prospects. Scout notes, video, and more info can be found below.
