Illinois Basketball Player Preview: Da’Monte Williams
Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY Sports It feels like a lifetime ago that we first heard of Da’Monte Williams playing in the orange and blue. Thankfully, Illini fans will get to see the 6-foot-3 Peoria native back in Champaign for a “super senior” year.
Between Trent Frazier and Da’Monte, the Illini get back their two most experienced players on the roster from last year. The super seniors committed under John Groce and have stayed for the Underwood era, seeing the program completely flip spectrums from a bottom-feeding Big Ten team to a national title contender. For Williams specifically, he has seen his role on the team change drastically in his five years here.
