[QUOTE="89illinigrad, post: 1209006, member: 6898"] Ever since Henson retired and Jimmy Collins was passed over for the head coaching job in lieu of Kruger, we have not been able to recruit the CPS, with the exception of Simeon. Some say the CPS coaches were miffed over Collins not getting the job, and thus steered their players elsewhere. Even the much heralded recruiter Bill Self could make little headway in the CPS (IIRC only Luther Head came from the CPS). With that said, we've fared better in the suburbs and downstate, which is why I think we've got a better shot with the 2017 class, but we've still got to seal the deal. Bottom line, the boycott of Illinois may be over, but we've got to win to get the Chicago kids interested again. [/QUOTE]
