Illinois adds former Utah guard Alfonso Plummer
By ADAM ZAGORIA
After losing Adam Miller to the Transfer Portal, Illinois effectively replaced him Saturday with the addition of former Utah guard Alfonso Plummer.
The 6-foot-4 Plummer averaged 13.6 points and 2.2 assists while shooting 38 percent from deep as a senior at Utah before transferring due to the coaching change there.
Plummer, a native of Puerto Rico, will team with rising sophomore point guard Andre Curbelo, also Puerto Rican, to lead the Illini backcourt going forward.
