I've always been a "love to get to know the player over multiple season kind of guy". Never liked the Kentucky model. But I too must admit, I like having top High School players taking Illinois seriously.
Even though I selfishly would have loved seeing Keaton play with the Illini one more season. It feels good having multiple NBA level players on our team.

There is something about the HS kids that is hard to ignore.

For one, it's good to know the program is has the "it" factor with these kids in terms of how it's perceived from a brand perspective. Fans grab onto bringing them in young with the mystery they can become the next big star.
