[QUOTE="Deleted member 643761, post: 1409516"] "The Loyalty story" exists only in your mind (and your imaginary friends). I can't recall the last time I heard any of those three recruits mentioned in discussing our recruiting. I really don't know why you feel like you have to create some mythical stupid Illini fan that you can elevate yourself over. By the way, I absolutely agree on your larger point. We had enough talent to get to the tourney in virtually every year under Weber and Groce. In fact, I was in favor of firing Weber after the underachieving NCAA tourney 2011 team. Even when we made the tourney, the teams didn't perform to the levels I thought reasonable. I guess where we part ways is that you think that you, and now I guess me, are the only people to hold that position. My guess is that the vast majority of people on this board feel that way. I know that the vast majority of people going to games do. To Obelix's point. We do need better recruiting if we're going to be consistently competing for BT titles and deep tourney runs. So while the talent was certainly sufficient for making the tourney, if your goals were loftier, we didn't have enough talent for that. [/QUOTE]
