Gosh, I really, REALLY like Groce. I just hope he managed to keep this year's team winning and the program moving forward so that I can really, REALLY like his program.
100% agree. Really want JFG to succeed here. Like him a ton.

Honestly I would take Verge as a partial qualifier like Lovett was
Well I mean he'd have to try to be worse
Social media has made it worse but many of our current Illini legends came with much angst before and after they arrived on campus. What would Illinois be if stars like Kendall Gill, Frank Williams, and Dee Brown left after there sophomore year? It almost happened.
Lowell Hamilton, Marcus Liberty, Deon Thomas all were not easy commitments and highly pursued by major power programs.
Deron Williams liked Illinois but it became a clearer decision when spots at UNC, Maryland, Tennesse, and GT got filled.
There were also others that selected Illinois but had to go the JC route and then re-recruited.
I happened to play bball with Roger Powell at Ubben the night that Bill Self was packing up his office after announcing that he was leaving for Kansas. Needless to say, Roger explicitly was talking about transferring and that others on the team were talking that way as well. He didn't mention any specifics, but needless to say the history of the program would have been rewritten if any of those guys had transferred.
Tilmon: "Everybody saying Jordan Goodwin gonna get Illinois Mr. Basketball but I doubt it"
should be a fun season!

@JWernerScout @jeremiahtilmon_ boy you sleep but we will see
Looks like Epperson needs some Twitter followers.
Umm no if Tillmon recruitment says anything it says Illini fans need to follow recruits less
Hey, the video isnt up anymore. Is there anywhere oit there i can watch this at?
Thanks in advance!
Why do I think Jeremiah career will be so much better than Cliff's at Kansas.
What does everyone think is a reasonable expectation for Tilmon's Illini stats? I'm thinking something like 10 pts, 7 reb, 1.5 ast, 1.5 blk as a freshman and 14/8.5/2/2 as a sophomore. Probable mid-late 1st round pick after sophomore season.
