MINNEAPOLIS — Post depth is a priority for Illinois coach John Groce moving forward, and the Illini reportedly added to their list of targeted big men Monday with an offer to Cristo Rey Jesuit (Minn.) junior Jericho Sims.
Iowa State, Kansas State and Minnesota have also offered Sims in the past two days. The 6-foot-8, 190-pound small school standout has more than a dozen total Division I offers, including Nebraska, Auburn, Dayton and Virginia Tech, as well.
