I have a feeling all of these kids are going to be more excited about playing for the new basketball coach than they are about playing for Groce. Kind of like how the football kids were more excited about playing for Lovie than Cubit. I really hope Mark Smith waits to see who the new coach is before making a decision!
Yeah, this argument about the kids coming for Groce at this point is ASININE.
One of the best players in recent history is going to go all four years without an NCAA tournament appearance. You think recruits are going to be into that? You think they are going to watch him put zero players into the NBA and clamor to come play for Groce?
They want to win and they want to go pro. Period. Illinois offers neither opportunity at the moment. You grab a better coach and show commitment to making the program win and they will stay committed.
