This is not as true as you make it out to be. Trent and Damonte are Groce recruits, although you could make the case Damonte was coming no matter what. You could also make the case Trent was coming as soon as he got to spend time with Dee. Half of Groce's original class left or was not retained, and the best player in the class was added by BU, after he beat out izzo, K, and cal for mark smith's services. Smith may have always been an illinois lean, but so were jawun Evans, cliff, Elijah Thomas, etc. Give Underwood credit for closing. Rounding out the five man class are matic and Ebo. 60% of our class are Brad Underwood recruits. He put his stamp on this class as best he could in a short amount of time. He is also a proven developer of players. You seem to be near the ledge and I'd like to encourage you to step back a bit for a few years.
