Lance Jones to SIU
Hoops recruiting news in Illinois continues to dominate on the night that was supposed to be all about high school football kicking off. Friday night Evanston 2019 combo guard Lance Jones announced his commitment to attend Southern Illinois on his twitter. He told PHI why SIU was his choice.
“It fits perfect with my game I feel like and they just feel like family so that made my decision that much easier “
Jones had an official lined up to the Salukis in a couple weeks, but decided to pull the trigger on a commitment Friday. What are the Salukis getting? Jones is an athletic combo guard that can really score it. Plus shooter pulling up and has a burst with the ball in his hands. Should be the go to guy for an Evanston team that could end up back in Peoria come March.
Jones checks in as the #19 overall prospect and #5 shooting guard in the 2019 class. He played with Meanstreets in the Nike EYBL.
