Saluki men’s basketball gets first commit of 2024 class, Nagy era in 6’10 Jaheem Webber

SIU men’s basketball received a commitment from 6’10 center Jaheem Webber Wednesday morning.

Webber was originally committed to Wright State when Nagy was the head coach there and flipped his commitment to Southern Illinois.

The 6’10 center out of Normal, Illinois is considered a 3-star prospect by multiple publications, including ESPN.

He competed for the Normal Ironmen in the 4A State Finals this past season in a 60-48 loss to Homewood-Flossmoor.  He had 2 points, 6 rebounds (3 offensive rebounds), 3 assists, and 2 blocks in the State Championship game.

SIU had offered Webber under Bryan Mullins in 2022.
