All this J.Walker bashing must stop.
1. Underwood has known and had relationship with him for a while.
2. He has close relationships with current players(huge) and current recruits.
3. He is a good Coach and mentor.
4. He has recruiting connections in key areas.
If you think he was hired solely for Tilmon and Smith you're wrong!!
My scorecard reads:
One decommit, who always seemed iffy at best.
One very significant upgrade in coaching.
Smith is a wish list item, possibly still in play.
So, two kids who may have an impact for a couple of years vs. one adult who may have an impact for many.
Things seem okay to me.
The scuttle down in Edwardsville is that Smith had a good meeting yesterday with BU lets hope we get him signed I think he is just beginning to develop as a player

Is this scuttlebutt coming from the right places??
I dont think anyone was really saying us at the time. His kinda quiet if I remember correctly. I think everyone was saying he was going to UM or maybe it was ND. Wasnt us though.JCL signed before I followed recruiting. What did his signing look like and was there much chatter?

Speaking for myself, I know I said I would be fine losing the entire class in exchange for a coaching upgrade.

I do remember one poster kept mentioning how JCL was absolutely a stone cold lock to ND. Mentioned it as an absolute the way we all love to hear it around here. Never heard from him again once he quietly committed to U of I. But man was he convinced.
If I were Dan I'd install wordfilters to cover the misspellings. =P
For some reason, we still need one for "Weber" too.
Wasn't there a coach we liked at FSU? I mean, while we're down there recruiting kids why not put on the full court press?So with the end of the Dead period our entire staff flies down to Florida. I'm sure they will pop in on Frazier but there has to be more. They are throwing a full court press on someone. Here are a few top remaining unsigned Florida kids:
5 Trevon Duval IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL)PG 6-3 190
8 Kevin Knox Tampa Catholic (Tampa, FL) SF 6-8 205
93 Sandro Mamukelashvili Montverde Academy (Montverde, FL) PF 6-11 230
153 Mayan Kiir Victory Rock Prep (Bradenton, FL) PF 6-9 220
204 D.J. Russell The Potter's House Christian Academy (Jacksonville, FL) PF 6-7 210
