Alexander signs with Illinois

Rodney Alexander, a forward from Redlands (Okla.) Community College, signed a letter of intent with Illinois after being courted by Tennessee as early as last week.

The News Sentinel reported Sunday that UT canceled his official visit.

The 6-foot-7, 225-pound junior-college sophomore from Benton Harbor, Mich., also considered Indiana and Saint Louis. Kentucky and Kansas State made late inquiries.

Alexander averaged 13 points and five rebounds last season.
