Evansville’s Ben Humrichous commits to Illinois
Illinois needs some size in the worst way, and it picked up a big frontcourt presence.
Evansville’s Ben Humrichous (pronounced Hum-Rick-House) committed to the Illini with one year of eligibility remaining, according to an Instagram post Tuesday night.
The 6-foot-9 forward began his collegiate career at Huntington University (NAIA) in Indiana before transferring to Evansville last season. He’s a native of Tipton, Ind., just north of Indianapolis.
Take a look at some highlights below:
Humrichous averaged 14.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game last season for the Purple Aces, finishing 42% from three (on 82 attempts, so not a small sample size). He scored a season-high 29 points in a game against Chattanooga.
Not a high-major prospect, but definitely some upside there, especially once Fletch and Orlando Antigua get a look at him.
