Josh Whitman will get to know all 19 head coaches at Illinois better in the coming weeks. Here’s what we’re thinking the conversations will be like:
SPORT COACH TALKING POINT
Baseball Dan Hartleb Those Illinois Field upgrades are coming ... if you keep winning.
Football Bill Cubit Your two-year contract is more like a one-year deal. Let’s row the boat.
Men’s basketball John Groce Got this newly renovated arena here. Would love to see it full again.
Men’s cross-country Jake Stewart Know you finished second last fall at Big Tens, but want some competition in practice?
