Oct. 7 Illinois basketball chat

Practice is less than a week old. But what are key issues Illinois coach John Groce wants to see out of his team before the season arrives a month from now? How is construction coming at State Farm Center? Will the Illini take any more commitments in the 2016 class? When does the IlliniHQ basketball yearbook come out and how can I pick up a

copy? Anything is fair game in beat writer Marcus Jackson's weekly chat, which gets underway at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. As always, feel free to submit questions ahead of time.
