Yeah, you'd have to go through C-U or Decatur first. Randle was from the Quad Cities and Happ was from close to there.And Randle was from Quad City area, I believe - Rock Island - not really near Bloomington either, as was Happ, as well. Bloomington has put out most recently Chris Payton headed to SIU and then the really good player that has since graduated from OSU.
But I think he was including Bloomington along with Chi-town, St Louis and Peoria as the places that regularly produce talent.
