Still feel terrible for the kid for his experience here. Got stuck playing the 4 much of the time and never made the tourney.

At least he didn't have to play the 5 in the middle....

Hill was the ultimate ILLINI however, played through it all, don't recall complaints, played out of position mostly, still found a way to still be playing ball. Good for Malcolm, I hope he sticks for good.

The dude knew how to stuff the fuck out of a stat sheet when the game was out of hand, I will credit him for that.

One thing about Groce’s teams is that they always showed up in garbage time

Went down a "rabbit hole" online today, came across this which I found to be a shame....torn down in 2022 I believe. Grass so high getting into the residence, surprised their was no snakes in there?

Also never realized/knew Ken Norman went by Ken Colliers in High School at Crane?

Also another separate tidbit....our own Nick Anderson had a hand in getting White Chocolate NBA ready prior to the draft....invited him to Orlando, Williams stayed with him and practiced against the Magic team prior to the draft.

Anderson and Williams were two very fun players to watch to say the least.

Malcolm Hill back on a two way with the Pelicans.

Didn't realize he is the only ILLINI to have back to back 600 pt seasons here, good company he is in.
