Illinois coach Groce ready to build from ground up

Next season?

Illinois will welcome five freshmen in power forward Austin Colbert, shooting guards Malcolm Hill and Kendrick Nunn, point guard Jaylon Tate and center Maverick Morgan.

At least a couple of them will have to contribute.

Spring practices that started this week included just six players -- only five on scholarship -- after forwards Mike Shaw, Ibby Djmide and Devin Langford were all given permission to transfer.
