John Groce drops in on Chicago area high schools
April 17, 2012 4:25 PM
Illinois coach John Groce and new assistant Isaac Chew made the rounds at Chicago area high schools on Monday and Tuesday.
The coaches hit up Curie, Orr, Proviso East and Whitney Young on Monday. Their first stop was at Simeon on Wednesday, and they planned to visit up to four or five other schools before the day was done.
"It was the first two days I could be out," Groce said by phone after leaving Simeon. "I wanted to make sure we establish we're very interested in Chicago and continue to build relationships with people we already know and meeting others we need to get to know better. The state of Illinois is very important to us, and Chicago is a big part of it."
