If you can’t beat them, join them. That is the motto of former Illinois guard Alan Griffin as he is considering joining the Miami basketball team after the Hurricanes defeated the Fighting Illini 81-79 in Champaign last November. Griffin averaged 8.9 points per game, 4.5 rebounds and made 41.6 percent of his three-point attempts.
Multiple outlets are reporting that Griffin is also considering Arizona, Marquette, Dayton, Iowa State, Texas, Syracuse and Duke. Griffin is the son of longtime NBA player and current Toronto Raptors assistant coach Adrian Griffin. There has not been a determination if Griffin would have immediate eligibility.
