BREAKING: Per his Instagram, UIC has landed a commitment from rising Chicago area product Markese Peoples in the class of 2027.
The 6-foot-1 St Laurence guard chose the Flames over a list of offers that included Toledo, Sam Houston State and Central Michigan.
Markese Peoples of St. Laurence is staying home. The senior star has opted to sign with #UIC this week. Nice addition for the Flames as they will welcome a downhill monster in the open floor and real competitor.
