[QUOTE="AirNeezy, post: 1573537, member: 747721"] Lol If you really want to debate if Weber was a better recruiter than BU, knock yourself out. And btw, the staff didn't just land 4 top 100 guys in 3 years...they landed [B]4 top 50[/B] guys (if you go by 247). The fact of the matter is that if you look at [B]Illinois' highest 20 highest ranked recruits since they started the RSCI composite, Underwood and his staff have landed 4 of them. [/B]All top 60 guys. In his first 3 seasons. Coming off the lowest point of Illinois basketball in the last 40 years. His recruiting up until this point has frankly been a miracle in my eyes considering where we were. Do we need to keep it up to sustain continued success at the top of the B1G for the next decade? Absolutely. Should we be content with one good team every 3-4 years? Of course not. But it's simply wrong to act like BU and his staff need to prove they can land elite talent [I]when they already have[/I]. [/QUOTE]
