[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1409775, member: 527609"] You're absolutely right on Black, got my years mixed up. But yeah, there was JCL, who was (easy to forget due to how the *ahem* local conventional wisdom endlessly referred to eventual RSCI #40 Jeremiah Tilmon as a "five star") the single highest-ranked recruit Groce ever got. I agree that the John Groce era was a tale of constant strange occurrences. But for me, the strange things that kept happening in his tenure was going on the road to a basement B1G team that wasn't half as good as us and scoring like 45 points and losing. And for that reason, Brad Underwood could prove to be the love child of Todd Lickliter and Kelvin Sampson and I'll still never doubt the decision to fire Groce for a moment. I liked him a lot, and I loved the basketball that he [I]wanted[/I] to play, but that tenure was never going anywhere in the win column. [/QUOTE]
