I agree if that's who Coach Christian (that is weird to write!) wants. They certainly know each other.

Word in Cambridge is that Dustin is headed to Champaign.

I've heard this too, but from a source I don't consider especially reliable. It would be nice if this turns out to be false, but I surely don't blame him if goes.

He's gone. A simple search of "Dustin Ford" on twitter will give you the linkage.

Dont search for his handle. Just the slew of mentions.

Rough loss. I hate it.

Makes sense. It's probably the quickest way for him to get his own head coaching gig someday.

I would've like to see Dustin stay, but thought he would probably move on with Groce.

I wish him nothing but the best, he will be missed.

Next stop, head coach somewhere -- just hope it's not with the Redchickens.

From the Trib about 3 hrs ago:

Staff additions: Groce called the two new members of his staff at Illinois "no-brainer" additions.

Dustin Ford and Jamall Walker were two of Groce's assistants at Ohio and have joined him in Champaign.

"These two coaches ... will bring stability, continuity and knowledge of how we want to run the program," Groce said. "They are well-rounded in every aspect of coaching at this level, including recruiting, scouting and player development."

Ford, whose brother Geno coaches at Bradley, works primarily with post players. Walker, who helped recruit Cooper, works with guards.

Groce said he hopes to complete his staff by the end of the week. He is considering keeping on Jerrance Howard, who worked under previous coach Bruce Weber.

I'm just rolling through BobcatAttack for the first time in a while and stumbling across nothing but bad news.

Great Caesar's ghost! I mean the best of luck to Dustin. I've been a fan since his playing days. In a perfect world, his first head coaching gig will be with the only green & white that matters (the one on the Hocking, for those looking to be funny, lol).
