BENTON, Ill. -- One of the best high school basketball players in our area and the state of Illinois is getting a look from SIU. Benton big man, Docker Tedeschi, might be a future Saluki.
SIU recently added Benton grad Issac Billington to its roster. Could Tedeschi be next?
Docker the blocker had an unofficial visit with Southern Illinois over the weekend. SIUE and Colorado State have already shown interest in the Rangers' rising senior.
Tedeschi helped the Running Rangers play in the program's first-ever state championship last season. The all-state player was the leading scorer for Benton last year; he averaged 15 and half points and 7 rebounds per game.
Docker watch is officially on. We expect him to continue to generate interest throughout the off-season
