Arnold took an official visit to Illinois State in March, and also plans to visit Southern Illinois from Apr. 19-21. Illinois-Chicago, New Mexico, James Madison, Miami, Bowling Green and Ball State are also inquiring, but Arnold said that Illinois State is the current leader in his process.
This past season at Morgan Park, Arnold averaged 23 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks per game. He said he currently owns a 2.5 GPA and scored a 20 on the ACT.
After finishing up his trips this spring, Arnold plans on signing a letter of intent, and we will keep you posted on ultimate decision.
