"We are pleased that Mike will attend the University of Illinois and
join our basketball team," Groce said. "He is a prolific scorer and
without question one of the best shooters in the state of Illinois.
He turned down many scholarship opportunities to walk on here, so we
feel fortunate to add a player of Mike's caliber to our program."
