Illinois coach Brad Underwood discusses his offseason roster overhaul, the addition of Will Riley, Terrence Shannon Jr.'s NBA Draft projection and more.
So much credit to this guy. He's completely changed the culture. The results have continuously gotten better. Recruiting has been unreal lately. Also think is worth mentioning that he has done one hell of a job of taking a look in the mirror and changing throughout his Illini tenure as a coach. As a former coach, one of the hardest things to do is "find your team." So many people think you just show up and play and the talent just wins over all the time. It is damn hard to find the best combinations for your lineup, the pace of play, your offensive and defensive plans. I think Brad has gotten better with this each year. Literally just keeps proving people wrong. Next step of getting to the Final Four may be the hardest and require the most luck, but he has done nothing to make me think he can't get a team there soon enough.
Great press interview! I wonder if they could have a wireless microphone to pass around to the questioners. It’s hard to hear what is asked for a lot of the questions. Thanks!
Ha! Can’t happen. Big 10 has some semblance of academic integrity. Some. SEC is nothing more than a minor league sports conference that finds itself tagged with university names.

That's my coach! I love Coach Brad ❤🧡💙
Best space I’ve seen an Illini program in almost 2 decades. Let’s keep the momentum as long as possible.
He's a good coach, the hardest thing to do is turn a program around. I think people underestimate Illinois as far as a major university.
Will go down as the best coach in Illinois history 🔶
Even before Underwood, you can recruit and win in ILL. And I’m glad that he’s here to put ILL back on the map.
We are back to the point of where self left. Moving forward

Has he ever explained his game plan for UConn?
Terrence can be #1 pick.
Is anyone making a 1000 shots a day?
Looks like they’ve almost joined the SEC
