Want to know who among the students at Milwaukee’s Washington High is Te’Jon Lucas?
Just look for the kid smiling big and wearing Orange and Blue almost daily.
“There are some days I don’t wear it, but my friends say it feels like I’m wearing Illinois stuff every day,” Lucas said. “That’s my school; I’ve got plenty of gear.”
If you’re the betting type, put money on the point guard wearing Illini colors on Friday when he participates in a signing ceremony at Washington to celebrate choosing John Groce’s program. Wednesday is the opening of the early signing period and Lucas is expected to make his Illinois commitment official, sending the Illini his letter of intent Wednesday.
