He did exactly what he should have done. Illinois lost. Second place is 1st loser, indeed.
I'm guessing that you're not old enough to remember him at Indiana or how the Eric Gordon recruitment went down? He's a scumbag. He was at both Oklahoma and Indiana. This has nothing to do with us playing Houston last year.

Google "Kelvin Sampson illegal recruiting practices". They'll tell you the story.

I was devastated by Gordon flipping. I was on at the time his father told us everything was fine, goodnight. I knew those words were bad news for Illini fans. Scumbag? What did he do that was so horrific?

Now you understand my comment. Wasn't a salt of the earth guy. The point still stands however that he's done a very nice job with Houston.
I'm still recovering. How is a maniac like that allowed to work at all, not to mention working with impressionable boys from sometimes unstable homes? It's a good thing Brad Underwood doesn't have a trail of bodies behind him on his way to Illinois. It'd be hard to support someone who's done anything remotely close to what KS did.

Recruiting players after they had committed elsewhere wasn’t as common then. It’s pretty much the Wild West now.
