[QUOTE="BretMyBeachHouse, post: 1599846, member: 747827"] Well, I'm not going to pretend that I know what he's feeling. But he's the leading scorer on a top 20 team in the country as a sophomore. I don't know why he didn't pick us, but I have no reason to believe it's because he lacks "guts". The days of in-state loyalty as a major driving factor in recruiting are pretty much over. No one should expect it and dozens of players have shunned Illinois and been very happy, even when they look at us in our brightest of days. And yes, any time a kid picks someone else over us, I'll take some glee when they fall short in head to head competition. But as long as they treated the recruitment with class (Liddell appears to have done that) I'll generally wish them well in their college careers. [/QUOTE]
