Four-star wing Jordan Goodwin commits to St. Louis Billikens over Illinois Basketball

It’s official — John Groce’s top recruiting target is off the board. Four-star wing Jordan Goodwin announced a verbal commitment to St. Louis University on Friday, confirming recent reports and speculation of a major change of heart over the past month. The Illinois native is the No. 48 player in the country; he was also considering Northwestern, Missouri, Butler, Alabama, and Creighton.
