[QUOTE="UofI08, post: 1303082, member: 5239"] I think it made all the sense in the world to keep Walker. Obviously it sucks to lose Tilmon. Losing Smith will suck too but he was never a commit and with MSU and Kentucky pushing hard, we could never assume he was definitely coming here. Keeping Walker was about more than keeping Tilmon and hoping to land Smith. We also have 3 other commits we need to keep in the fold, and need a coach that is very well respected in St. Louis for future recruiting. [/QUOTE]
