[QUOTE="rrmarte, post: 1221069, member: 19110"] Oh yes, sorry! Tilmon is likely more impactful than Richmond. I just meant that since Dee, I think Richmond had as large or larger impact [I]at the time[/I] of his recruitment and prior to him suiting up. As far as influencing others, I won't definitively disagree with you since that is difficult to judge. However, in each of the following recruitments, once they committed, each cited playing with a talent like Richmond as an important factor in them coming here. Brandon Paul, DJ Richardson, Meyers Leonard and Tyler Griffey. Possibly Crandall Head as well, although I don't remember seeing a statement from him. The others all said it when interviewed. (I don't have links to show unfortunately) Difficult to assess in reality what kind or how much impact he had in influencing them, but I assume a great deal. So he got the ball rolling in a big way with BW's best recruiting classes while at Illinois. Completely agree with his impact as a [I]player[/I] after coming to Illinois unfortunately. I give him a lot of credit for helping our program when we were in a recruiting slump thanks to his early commitment. But I also give him complete blame for the life choices he made and his actions since. He alone is at fault. [/QUOTE]
