[QUOTE="brokensaphire, post: 1206270, member: 590240"] "....basketball reality says Big Ten basketball program like Illinois either must make the NCAA tournament consistently or develop exemplary young men. After four years of Groce, the Illini are failing at both." Damning words from David Haugh of the Tribune. Unfortunately, he is accurate. I got the sense that this presser was aimed at curbing negative recruiting happening with our top targets and nothing more. Whitman knows the only thing that is going to save Coach after this year, other than a special run in 16-17, is a stellar recruiting class, i.e., Goodwin and Tilmon. This was a way to make an effort towards that end. [/QUOTE]
