John Groce talks Illini
October 5, 2012 5:14 PM
Groce on Illinois "I like our attitude. I wish we were a little stronger physically but we're in a good place right now."
Groce on Nnanna Egwu "He's had an unbelievable spring, summer, and fall. He's really developing."
Groce on Sam McLaurin "He's separated himself with the way he's played the last 2-3 weeks. He's found his niche."
Groce on Tyler Griffey "The question is --- can he impact the game if he's not making shots? He needs to find that out."
Groce on Mike Shaw "He's emerged in the last month. He's lost 13-14 pounds. Conditioning will always be the key with him."
Groce on Brandon Paul "The thing that will separate him this year is his mind. How consistent can he be? We know what he's capable of."
Groce on DJ Richardson "His shooting ability is his strength. He can really make shots."
Groce on Devin Langford "He's really talented. He's one of those guys you watch and say wow."
Groce on Joe Bertrand "He's going to be a big part of things. He'll be a 20 minute a game type guy."
Groce on Illinois being under the radar "I like it. We're all competitive. I think it will give us a little chip on our shoulder."
