Honest question. Is Coach recruiting as dirty as player recruiting? I mean it seems that through the years a large segment of our fan base([U]me included)has felt slighted by what is perceived to be a dirty player recruiting game. Could settling for a tier 2 lead man here be partially a...

Go Illini!
