In news that should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, Illinois' point guard situation is a relative unknown for next season. With Jaylon Tate's status still up in the air, Tracy Abrams may be John Groce's only returning lead guard -- and he's missed the last two seasons with injury.
Luckily, the Fighting Illini have a four-star freshman on the way in Te'Jon Lucas (Milwaukee, WI). The class-of-2016 guard committed to Illinois back in September over Southern Cal and Old Dominion; he was also receiving interest from other schools like Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Texas, Butler, and California.
