As far as oversigning, Groce was ready to oversign by not only one (Quentin Snider) but two (Cliff) that Fall and no one, I mean no one, had a problem if that had materialized. Actually, everybody wanted that. Beilein decided to not renew the scholarship of Max Bielfeldt, Spike Albrecht, Dakich and encouraged them to find other places in order to use their scholarships elsewhere and I do not think people mention that as something negative in their view of Beilein.
I am not a huge fan of oversigning myself, but given the attrition in programs in transition (like Illinois), I am not against it. I actually believe that the mass unexpected exodus this Spring had more of a negative effect (PR-wise) rather than any attempt to oversign would have had.
