Illinois St. gets a commitment

[bugregshu]

From 5-10 JuCo guard Lloyd Phillips out of Iowa Western CC. This is interesting because Illinois State currently has no scholarships available.

[Big Mike]

interesting!

[Da Coach]

He is from the same junior college as current Redbird Emmanuel Holloway and former Redbird Nedu Onyeuku.
Phillips averages 18.2 ppg, 4 assists and 3.1 rebounds this past season while shooting 43% (105-243) from three-point range.

So Alex Rubin might just possibly NOT be the PG of the future?

This is interesting because Illinois State currently has no scholarships available.

Can they do that?

Can they do that?

I believe it points to someone leaving.

[Da Coach]

No, they, like all NCAA D1 teams can only have 13 scholarship players. But they can continue to recruit, assuming the scholarship they offered this new recruit will come from someone currently on scholarship who must be leaving.
