Illinois State men's basketball lands commitment from prep standout

NORMAL — Returning from his official visit on Sunday, Palatine Fremd High School senior basketball player Jordan Williams had made up his mind.

"They showed the most love. They came to every game whether it was high school or AAU," said Williams, while announcing his commitment to sign a national letter of intent with Illinois State. "That really meant a lot. It showed they believed in me."

The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Williams is ranked as a three-star recruit by 247 Sports.
