Illinois Adds Channise Lewis
Four-star point guard Channise Lewis of Miami, Florida, has decided to play her college basketball at Illinois for coach Matt Bollant and his staff. Lewis has the potential to be a dynamic playmaker for the Big Ten school as she is capable of scoring the ball on her own or setting teammates up to score. Last high school season the 5-foot-6 point guard proved to be one of the toughest players in the class when she played through a high ankle sprain at two of the best high school showcases in the country. Her play in that two-week period was one of the truly memorable moments of the 2015-16 high school season.
Canadian Wing, Mael Gilles To Rutgers
Rutgers has added 6-1 Canadian wing Mael Gilles of Montreal, Quebec. Giles, who has been a member of multiple Canadian national teams, is a quality athlete who will give Rutgers the option of playing her on the wing and in the post. Rated as a high three-star prospect, Giles is the first member of the 2017 class to commit to Rutgers.
Emer Nichols To Texas A&M
Texas A&M coach Gary Blair and his staff have added their third verbal commitment for the class of 2017 as 6-4 post Emer Nichols has committed to the SEC school. Nichols joins ELITE 150 prospects Kayla Wells and N’Dea Jones in the class the Aggies expect to sign in November.
