Kendrick Nunn's value to Illini could go beyond talent

Nunn said Wednesday he has spoken to both players [XRM & Jackson] and is hopeful they will join him at Illinois.

"Hopefully bring Illinois back to that team where there was Deron Williams, Dee Brown and three guards," Nunn said. "I hope people open their eyes about Illinois. I think I'm a good teammate. I'll push you and get better. I'm someone who people like to play with. I've been pretty successful.

"My goal is hopefully we can start to make history, make it to the Final Four and hopefully win a national championship."
