The fifth-year point guard committed to John Groce and the Fighting Illini.
John Groce has locked down a potential contributor at point guard to help replace Tracy Abrams, who recently suffered a torn Achilles tendon and will miss his second consecutive season due to injury. Khalid Lewis, a fifth-year transfer from La Salle, committed to the Fighting Illini on Saturday after taking a visit to campus last week.
Not much is known about the 6'3 guard, and his statistical outlook isn't particularly promising. In the Atlantic Ten conference, which is obviously a significant step down from the level of competition awaiting him in this season's Big Ten, Lewis shot only 37 percent from the field.
