SIU men’s basketball appears to have finalized their roster for the upcoming 2024-25 season. JUCO scouting service JUCO Scoop reported Saturday evening that the Salukis are picking up a commitment from New Mexico Junior College forward Antwaun Massey.
Southern Illinois with another really nice late JUCO pickup in @NewMexicoJCMBB 6’8 F Antwaun Massey. The Soph averaged 11p/7r , in a very tough Region 5. Bigs are at a premium right now as well, making this an even better get.
