[QUOTE="TheGMan, post: 1302461, member: 628796"] I'm not saying that Walker is the savior and greatest recruiter in the STL region, but based on all accounts, he is well liked and respected in the region by both players and coaches. If you officially announce him as an assistant, and then soon after fire him because a kid had a change of heart after a coaching change, then I can pretty much guarantee that those coaches will remember. As for having to recruit against Martin and Ford, so what that it's gonna be hard? It's not like recruiting Chicago has been, or will be, a walk in the park, and I don't see anyone wanting to give up on that. We haven't really been getting the top talent out of Chicago recently, either. I'm not saying that St. Louis is the key to the Final Four. I'm just saying, let's maybe not burn any bridges before Coach Underwood has even coached one game for us. Plus, you never know what kind of talent may come out of the two regions in the future.
