Where are all the GIF's? This is arguably the best news we've had in a decade and I can't get more than like 3 or 4?

Groce's first Fire get. It will be interesting to see if he plays with The Fire this summer.

Wow awesome news. Land Tilmon and Goodwin and Groce really would show some resiliency. Hopefully it all means we're getting back on track.

He was supposedly in the office when Da'Monte told Groce he was coming. Lots of cheering and hugging as you can imagine.
Does anybody know if Da'Monte's Mom went to UI??

Kind of nice to be getting ready for bed with a smile on one's face for a change on game night! This might turn out to be one of those dates in program history that we all remember for a while.

Based off Da'Monte's quotes tonight, it sounds like it.

Can you elaborate on this at all? As you said it wouldn't surprise me if Whitman assured him Groce would be here.

What awesome news. Frankie's kid going anywhere else would be a nut punch the magnitude of which would have been epic.


Amen to that. Never want to overestimate the importantance of one player, that that would have been a very bad omen for the future of the program.

A good day!!!!:chief::chief::chief::chief:

I'm still stoked about this commit. 6'3 PG that can score is what Groce has needed since day 1. Lucas and Williams at the PG, Coleman-Lands SG, Williams or Jordan SF, FinkePF/C, and still need that one big for 2017.
