According to ESPN's Jeff Goodman, former Virginia Tech guard Jalen Hudson is the latest transfer to pick up interest from John Groce and the Fighting Illini. The 6-foot-5, 195-pound sophomore would have two years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the 2016-17 season.
There appear to be some minor discrepancies in Hudson's stats, but according to Virginia Tech's website he averaged 8.4 points and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 40.1% from the field (34.6 3PT%) last season. Hudson scored a season-high 27 points against No. 16 Louisville on January 27; he also had 23 points and 14 points against North Carolina State and No.
