March 29, 201214 yr Yay it's over. Time to win the press conference. BTW, Rock, I like how Buehrle>Wood is suddenly a representation of all Illini fans.

March 29, 201214 yr Sure you'd love to have had Groce talking to these kids since grade school, but kids are fickle. They love the new flavor of the month. You can't count on high school kids for s*** so you sure as hell might sweep them off their feet with a strong, late recruiting pitch. Let's get 'em Groce!

March 29, 201214 yr f*** it, I'm on board. Take us to the promise land Grocer. (Or at least back to the tournament every year.)

March 29, 201214 yr jon greenberg @espnchijon John Groce has one Ohio assistant with Chicago ties. Ramon Williams was an assistant at DePaul for four years.

March 29, 201214 yr Illinois Basketball @IlliniHoops It's official - we will have a press conference at 1 pm CT at @Assembly_Hall to introduce our new #Illini men's basketball coach.
March 29, 201214 yr Mike Thomas only hires from the OSU coaching tree apparently. I kid. This is a hire where you hope the guy is here a LONG time if he's successful. Unfortunately like I said before, this probably means Jeff Boals is gone to OU from our bench.
March 29, 201214 yr QUOTE (farmteam @ Mar 28, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Is Matta really going to retire that soon? He's not that old. He was almost done mid year this year. He's in a ton of pain, couldnt even climb the ladder to cut down the nets without two guys holding him up. He is grooming Chris Jent to take over.
March 29, 201214 yr I'm on board with Groce, love what I've read about him, let's get this s*** rolling. 2 more hours and this whole thing is finally over. Time to win the press conference.

Time to win the press conference. Sounds like Jerrance Howard won't return, but still will have a good assistant staff in place. With that said, who knows how many defections there are if Jerrance leaves.

Im sorry did you say something, Im still mesmerized by Kate Upton's bouncing gems. I seriously stop reading whatever you write to stare at the gif for a minute, than go back to reading your post.

I'll take some more chicago inroads.
March 29, 201214 yr This process just turned into a bigger disaster if Jerrance doesn't return, especially when he makes a killing when he goes to Kentucky

Dynamic recruiters with Chicago ties. It's obviously not certain yet, but neither is Jerrance leaving. Chill out man.

March 29, 201214 yr I don't think Jerrance leaves either, only if Groce wants him out. I was just commenting on fathoms post. We have immediate needs and lots of big time in state decisions coming up. We lose out big time if he leaves.

He has to have alot of enemies in the city.
