By ADAM ZAGORIA

Kofi Cockburn , the 6-foot-10 big man from Oak Hill Academy (VA), will take an official visit to Illinois Dec. 28-30, Oak Hill coach Steve Smith told ZAGSBLOG.

Andrew Slater first reported the visit on Twitter.

Cockburn, ranked No. 31 by ESPN, recently took his first official visit to UConn.

Cockburn is down to Syracuse, Kansas, Pittsburgh, Illinois, UConn, LSU, Florida State and St. John’s.

“I want to go to a school where I’m able to go in, get better, and show my talent as a player and a person,” he said this summer.

Cockburn is at Oak Hill with fellow New York native Cole Anthony, who is currently on a visit to Georgetown.

“It’s been good playing with Cole,” said Cockburn. “He’s a great point guard and he gets the job done at the end of the day.”
