Illini basketball Coach John Groce was at Nike Town on Michigan Avenue in Chicago today to help promote the new Illinois athletics re-brand by Nike. The new uniforms were revealed yesterday.
I had an exclusive conversation with John Groce where we talked about those uniforms, but also next fall’s team, specifically where all the twos and threes and wings will fit in the lineup next year.
What does Malcolm Hill bring to the table as a so called utility guy? We also talk recruiting; both in the Chicago area and throughout the nation. How does Chicago set the tone/agenda? How will the new uniforms help the rebrand?
There was some good talk about the transfers too. “The Scout team” that’s been beating the 1s during the year. John Groce assesses Ahmad Starks, Darius Paul and Aaron Cosby.
This John Groce podcast is a must-listen for all Illini fans as Illinois basketball looks to make it back into the NCAA Tournament next year.
