[QUOTE="Vermilion Slim, post: 1301749, member: 588137"] I think it is tough to know how strong any assistant is as an X's and O's coach or how that translates to new styles and new systems. Recruiting is obviously a little easier to gauge, but that can also be very program specific (for example, Antigua wasn't bringing blue-chippers to Tampa.) I'm personally a big Roger fan because of the following: *Former player at the school he would be working for *Ties to large recruiting area *Post-NCAA career that included stops domestically and overseas *Tons of off the court positive engagement *Not a single hint of negative on-court or off-court issues *Assistant at fairly strong mid-major who has steadily climbed the coaching latter *Has stuck with one staff and not career jumped all over the country *Has been to the post-season as an assistant every year So, not being involved in practices or knowing the guy personally makes it tough to judge his basketball IQ or coaching ability (as it does for pretty much every assistant), but all signs point to him being a solid hire anywhere and specifically at Illinois.
