[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1401361, member: 7292"] I think the aperture opens too much when we consider recruiting "misses" as "mistakes." Every school has many misses, and every fan base, in retrospect would have rather recruited the lower ranked player who happened to overachieve. Most of the examples fit those descriptions. But as far as mistakes in the sense of recruits who had very close Illini ties, had Illinois as their clear top choice, wanted to come here, we did not recruit them, and came back to haunt us for years, the clear mistakes were only Brian Cardinal and Robbie Hummel.
