Illinois may very well be the sleeper team in the B1G in 2014-15

There were times last season where John Groce simply didn't have enough offense. That won't be a problem moving forward. After a year in which his team ranked 311th nationally in points per game (64.6), Groce will welcome in two transfers --- Aaron Cosby (Seton Hall) and Ahmad Starks (Oregon State) --- that should add some major scoring pop. The 6-3 Cosby averaged 12.6 points two years ago in the Big East and made 66 3-point shots while the diminutive Starks will give Illinois another floor general at 5-9 who can play next to Tracy Abrams in the back court.
