    Jalen Coleman has committed to Illinois.

    “Excited to announce that I will be attending the Univ of Illinois,” Coleman tweeted. “Looking forward to adding banners and accomplishing my academic goals. I would like to thank my mom,dad,brothers, John Groce, Jamall Walker & and the rest of the Illinois coaching staff.”

    Ranked No. 25 in the class of 2015 by 247 Sports, Coleman will make an immediate impact at the point guard for the Illini.

    Coleman averaged 14.8 points per game for All-Ohio Red this summer on the EYBL circuit.

    Coleman chose Illinois over UNLV, Notre Dame and Michigan, and is the third commit for the Illini alongside D.J. Williams and Aaron Jordan.
