[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1300772, member: 7292"] Be careful because some of the posts on this board misrepresent what people have actually said. One post in particular claimed that Robert Smith mentioned Groce in his interview, by name. Truth is that Robert Smith did not mention Groce by name. Also some other things are left out, e.g., Robert Smith mentioning that Paris Parham did a "great job" in Chicago. Finally, some things said are often questionable with respect to reality. Robert Smith mentioned by name that Self and Kruger did a great job in Chicago, and obviously they now "like" Kruger, water under the bridge, Lon is a proven coach, he did a good job with Illinois and has gone to have success. So there is a benefit to mentioning Kruger. But back then, Chicago, and especially CPL coaches, did boycott Kruger and the program. Bobby Simmons in particular, from Simeon, a much needed recruit, ended up at DePaul. [/QUOTE]
