Two commitments from SE Illinois
Jason Francis, (SO) 6-foot-9 (280) from Jamaica, will be heading off to the University of Rhode Island next season.
"Coach Baron did a great job in recruiting Jason. He has a chance to come in and play on a very good team next season," said Southeastern Illinois head coach Todd Franklin.

Francis is a third year center that took his official visit this past weekend to Rhode Island. Jason visited Rutgers back in the fall.
"Jason's best basketball is still in front of him," said Franklin.
Francis averaged 6.7 ppg and 5.5 rebounds this season for the 24-7 Falcons.
Olajide Hay only needed one official visit to find out where he wanted to play at next season. Olajide will take his game to the Ohio Valley Conference and play at Tennessee-Martin. Hay, 6-foot-5 (240) from Henderson, KY, visited the UT-Martin campus this past weekend.
"Olajide visited with his parents and really liked what he saw at UT-Martin. I think he has a chance to be a good solid four man in the OVC," said Franklin.
Hay averaged 10.9 ppg and 7.3 rebounds this past season.
