Huge turnover means Illinois, Groce will be tapping into new talent

"We're excited," Groce said Tuesday. "The momentum and buzz around our program is not something I take for granted. The players and staff deserve a lot of credit. We still have a long way to go, but I love the direction we're headed. We're just going to keep grinding. As I say to the players, keep swinging that hammer every day, keep getting better every day. Because that's what we can control."
