Soo... Akron actually ahead of us in RPI (not NET though). Groce getting a 2nd P5 chance sometime?
I think ADs will look at his body of work and see that they should maybe wait one more year to see if there is consistent success. (Not just tourney success or one regular season success)
If he does well again next year, I’d see him making the jump again. Maybe a Big 12 job because...well...it’s a requirement for past or future Illini coaches apparently.
