Bruce Weber: "I remain committed to the University of Illinois"

"I received a few interest calls regarding other positions, but nothing beyond that. I remain committed to the University of Illinois," Weber said in the statement. "We held our first spring workouts (Wednesday). I enjoyed being in the gym with our returning players and look forward to welcoming a talented recruiting class to the mix.

"I am fortunate to have one of the elite jobs in all of college basketball and am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for our program. We will work tirelessly to ensure that Illinois is competing at a championship level both in the Big Ten and nationally."
