Kendrick Nunn a fan of John Groce

"Me and (Groce) clicked the first day we met," Nunn's father Melvin said on Thursday. "I like guys who I can just talk to. He tries to get to know you, and then you get down to business and everything. He's a good guy for the job.

"I think he's going to get a lot of talent because of his relationships and how he feels about players. I'm actually going to talk to Kendrick about Illinois today. Kendrick knows (Ohio junior point guard) D.J. Cooper. He knows how D.J. played this year with him. He lets his guard play. He runs an up-tempo style."
