According to his coach, Illinois Basketball offered a scholarship to 2017 point guard DaMonte Williams this afternoon. The Peoria, IL native (Manual) hasn't been rated by the recruiting industry yet, but he has the potential to be the next great player to come out of the area. He's also received interest from Kansas, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Bradley.
