Very exciting that he loves Black and Te'Jon. Particularly encouraging to hear that players with Black's motor have been "very, very good" in Underwood's system. Those two were bright spots last year, so I enjoyed that bit.

Interesting that he singles Finke out as a natural leader. He didn't strike me that way, but that is also good to hear.

I was shocked that he called Leron a natural scorer. Maybe he does have moves from the high post.

Love this!

“He’s shown he can be a guy who can be a very gifted scorer,” Underwood said about Black, who ranked fourth on the team in scoring last season at 8.1 ppg. “I love his versatility, and I love his motor. He’s got a tremendous motor. Historically, guys who play with that much energy and that type of motor have been very, very good for me."

Nice article, and sounds like same things​ we chat on. When talking about current players on roster , a few names always seem to be missing . Just an observation, but seems to be consistent omissions.:chief:

I agree. One of the reasons I think Alstork is such an important piece (despite our relative depth at the wing) is because I don't anticipate much of a contribution at all from Aaron Jordan. Wouldn't be surprised if BU, et al are on that same page.

I do think we will see some good leaps forward from lots of our returning players and I'm especially interested in seeing JCL and Leron take their games to the next level.

Go Illini!
