Deon Thomas just wrapped up his second season as the radio analyst for Illinois basketball and a studio analyst for Big Ten Network. The all-time leading scorer in Illini history discusses his burgeoning media career and what's next for Illinois:
How do you feel your broadcasting career has gone so far?
I think I've improved each year. A large part of that is the people that I work with. Brian Barnhart has been tremendous. He's made my transition in radio a lot easier, and radio and TV are different. Also having mentors to lean on like Steve Bardo and Jess Settles at Big Ten Network.
