The Journey: Great recruiting tool, or major distraction?

Fighting Illini football fans...here's the question... Do you think the Big Ten Network's tv show "The Journey: Illinois Football" has been a major distraction to this years team? Do you think that perhaps even if it has been a major distraction that perhaps it is still a great recruiting tool for the program?

I personally spoke to one of this years Illini freshman very recently and he says he thinks the cameras have been a major mental distraction for a few players and that he simply stays away when the cameras come around. Sounds like a wise choice by a young man who has a good head on his shoulders.

So overall, do you think that the cameras being around have swelled some of our players heads and caused some "Hollywood" laziness and lack of team focus?
