“I am thrilled to have Brynn joining our Illini family,” Green said in a press release. “She is someone who understands our system and will come make an immediate impact on our program. She gained valuable experience last year and a great understanding for how we want to play on both ends of the floor. Brynn is someone who can play inside and out with the ability to shoot the ball at an elite level. You do not see a lot of players that are 6-foot-3 and are knock down three-point shooters like she is. She gives us the versatility to play her both on the low block and perimeter which is a huge asset to our team. I am excited to see her continue to grow here at Illinois.”
Twelve days earlier, Illinois announced Makira Cook, Dayton’s leading scorer (14.8 points per game) this past season, had joined the roster.
Shoup-Hill committed to Dayton in May 2020. She appeared in 23 games as a freshman, averaging 1.8 points in six minutes per game. She was one of two freshmen on the roster, along with Shannon Wheeler, who averaged 4.9 minutes in 10 games.
Green took the head coaching job at Illinois in March after six seasons at Dayton.
Tamika Williams-Jeter replaced Green. She has added one player from the transfer portal. Anyssa Jones, a 5-10 guard from Westerville, announced April 8 her commitment to Dayton. She appeared in 15 games the last two seasons for the Buckeyes, scoring nine points.
