Will somebody please tell Groce to stop recruiting from Northern Illinois.  First, Trendon Hankerson and now Thornton.  

 

Hankerson was a solid, but Thornton was a swing and miss. We've thankfully had a lot more hits than misses, though.

I hate when Groce recruits role players who do exactly as they are asked 

 

Groce would never say it but I'd bet he expected a lot more from Thornton as a senior guard.

If Thornton wouldn’t have transferred, they probably have been 10-18/4-11 this season.

My apologies on Hankerson.  He was a solid player for the Zips.  I was thinking of another player that I believe transferred from Northern Illinois (maybe it was another school) that left the team in the middle of the season.  He was a good guard that liked to drive to the basket and never shot a three ball.  I cannot remember his name but turned out to be a fifth year transfer that just decided to quit.

^^Transfer from Ball State. I'm drawing a blank on his name...

KJ Walton what a guy. It was his 7th year in college basketball when he was at Akron. After a few games here, he just didn’t love playing basketball anymore

Walton didn't realize that Groce was serious about the student part of student athlete.
