Guess that rules out the two AC's that just split for Kentucky.Someone with a track record of pulling in top 50 recruits?

I mean, before coming here OA had at least 7 top-50 recruits to his name, including five 5-star recruits and one guy who was ranked #1, then he managed to pull in two more top-50 guys here, but ok.Guess that rules out the two AC's that just split for Kentucky.

Did you used to be obelix?Mennenga would be exciting.
Thank you for the info. Good to know that OA and Chin took in 2 Top 50 guys over 4 years at Illinois. Chester Frazier and Unnamed AC should surpass this easily over the next four years.I mean, before coming here OA had at least 7 top-50 recruits to his name, including five 5-star recruits and one guy who was ranked #1, then he managed to pull in two more top-50 guys here, but ok.

Shouldn't that top 50 for OA and Chin be 4?? Ayo, Kofi, Curbelo and Ace Tiger?Thank you for the info. Good to know that OA and Chin took in 2 Top 50 guys over 4 years at Illinois. Chester Frazier and Unnamed AC should surpass this easily over the next four years.
At a place like Kentucky, I’d imagine signing top 50 guys would be like shooting fish in a barrel. You going to have to work a little harder in Champaign.I mean, before coming here OA had at least 7 top-50 recruits to his name, including five 5-star recruits and one guy who was ranked #1, then he managed to pull in two more top-50 guys here, but ok.

Yeah, no. Chin brought in AM and, while 247 doesn't credit him for it, also some guy named Ayo who just happens to be one of the best players to ever suit up for the Illini. If Frazier and an AC to be named later bring in 4 guys of that quality in the next four years I'd be thrilled, but that's a tall order.Thank you for the info.

Sure, but you don't even get to that position without being an outstanding recruiter, and more importantly, the experience of recruiting at such a high level is invaluable. I am sure Frazier will be fine, but there's a reason they also offered experienced recruiters with a track record like Mennenga and Young. I think BU and JW wanted to pair him with a guy like that.At a place like Kentucky, I’d imagine signing top 50 guys would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

I can't seem to find the dislike button. Can someone guide me?I agree. I don’t get all the excitement for this. I’m underwhelmed. If this is plan A, I’m worried about what’s coming next.

Beat me to it.Syracuse stole him already?
You'll be disappointed without giving him a chance.I don't think the negativity is directed at Frazier, who should be a great addition. After Whitman threw untold millions at Antigua and all the talk about competing with the blue bloods, I think a lot of us were hoping for a higher profile hire. I'm hoping the next hire has more of a national profile. If Frazier is the exciting one, I'll be disappointed.
Underwood has been trying that and the current schools are matching the offers. Antigua wasn't a great recruiter until he got to Kentucky. Everyone has to start somewhere and maybe Frazier will be on that list of Top Ten Recruiters in the next couple of years.Someone with a track record of pulling in top 50 recruits?
You realize those kind of coaches have good jobs at schools with the means to match any money that Illinois offers? Antigua was unemployed when Underwood hired him and Coleman was at a mid major. Fans had better adjust their sites on this hire.this. I'm just a random fan and I am open to being pleasantly surprised but, having climbed this far up the mountain out of the wasteland that Weber and Groce left us at, I am leery. Just saying. A more experienced coach with a longer track record and more proven recruiting success would have sat better with me. Time will tell. I hope for the best.
When Antigua went from Memphis to Kentucky with Cal, he wasn't considered a great recruiter. Being at a school like Kentucky has a way of enhancing the recruiting reputation of the assistants.Sure, but you don't even get to that position without being an outstanding recruiter, and more importantly, the experience of recruiting at such a high level is invaluable.

Howard's resume was very slim when Weber hired him. One more time when Weber didn't understand that BIG schools should only hire top talent for assistants. I personally wouldn't call Howard a good hire. Didn't know how to write a scouting report, was lazy, gave a half assed effort in recruiting, wanted to be one of the gang when he should have understood he was a coach and acted accordingly. Frazier is much better than Howard.What have you seen before? Wasn't the last alum we hired Jerrance Howard? That was a pretty good hire. Do we have a history of giving undeserved chances to alums I'm not thinking of?
Write this down, Dee Brown won't be back as a coach as long as Whitman is AD.We got Chester. Bring back Dee and Roger and we good.
Good post, and I needed to see this message today, thanks!HOWEVER, with loss comes opportunity,
