Here is the Illinois sports news from around the country and around the internet.
The Daily Illini: Illini target Lucas to announce decision Wednesday
Te’Jon Lucas, a three-star point guard in the class of 2016, will announce his college decision Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. He’s considering Illinois, Old Dominion and USC.
Illini hoops fans’ collective attention has been focused on Lucas and fellow 2016 point guard Charlie Moore, especially in the wake of Xavier Simpson’s commitment to Michigan. Head coach John Groce has yet to land a commitment in the class of 2016, and securing a point guard has been a top priority.
