Illinois lands Simeon PG Jaylon Tate

"It's great," Simeon coach Robert Smith said. "They're getting another quality guy who knows how to win, is going to work hard and gives them that relationship with the (Chicago) Public League again.

"He's a true point guard, someone who is willing to pass and then score second. Just the time I had him in, his work ethic is off the charts. He loves to be in the gym and get better. He's a team leader."
