Brad Underwood was the first coach to offer him. Head coach relationship, system fit, surrounding guard talent... ILL has plenty to sell here.https://t.co/00aqTdYeNF

#Illini HC Brad Underwood says he has "a new player" in Kipper Nichols heading into a potential breakout year.
— Derek Piper (@DPiper247) October 12, 2018
I talked to both about the transformation of that player/coach relationship & what has Nichols playing his best, most consistent basketball. https://t.co/3uUImufcBt

#illini Underwood: We talk a lot about being positionless and versatile. A lot more size on the perimeter. Skill set I enjoy. Good passing team. High basketball IQ.
