Recruiting
As a sophomore, Frazier led Wellington High School to an 8A Florida High School Athletic Association basketball state championship, and hit the game-winning free throw with 0.4 seconds left for a 57–56 victory over Hagerty High School. Frazier played under legendary hoops coach and 8A coach of the year, Matt Colin.[1][2]
During his senior season, Frazier averaged 27.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists, leading Wellington to a 27–4 record and Florida Class 9A State Semifinals appearance.[citation needed]
After his official visit to Illinois, Frazier verbally committed to the program and former head coach John Groce on August 21, 2016.[3] During his recruitment, Frazier considered offers from Baylor, Maryland, Kansas State, and Seton Hall.[4]
In March 2017, Frazier reaffirmed his decision to play college basketball at Illinois after John Groce was fired and head coach Brad Underwood was hired away from Oklahoma State.[5] Frazier had indicated that both his connections to his future teammates at Illinois and that Underwood had recruited Frazier while he was head coach at Stephen F. Austin were factors in the decision to remain committed to Illinois.[6]
