Junior guard will return home for college
When Southern Illinois has been at their best in the Missouri Valley, they've had tough guards who can score. Saturday night, Chris Lowery picked up a 2012 guard cut out of that mold when Antonio Drummond picked the Salukis.
A native of Peoria (Ill.) who has moved on to La Porte (Ind.) La Lumiere, sources confirmed that Drummond committed while on an unofficial visit to Illinois.

Standing 5-foot-10, Drummond is neither a highlight athlete or lethal shooter. But, he's exceedingly tough off of the bounce, has a knack for putting the ball in the net and is somebody who is going to keep coming at defenders.
A three-star prospect affectionately known as Bobo, Drummond runs with Mike Mullins' Illinois Wolves during the summer. He's the Salukis first commitment from the class of 2012.
