[QUOTE="jrmarcus, post: 1565193, member: 295960"] I have a lot of respect for Lovie. I was so excited when he was hired. I think he did recruit well for the condition the program was in. I'm really disappointed he wasn't able to capitalize on the talent he had. Teams have done more with less. I don't know, at this point, how anyone succeeds at Illinois. Have to beat the cupcakes at the beginning of the year and get some fortunate scheduling in the B1G. But, you have to do that for a few years in order to trick the recruits into believing that the program is evolving. I think I'm usually more upbeat about the possibilities, but then I thought (admittedly wrongly) the program was headed in the right direction only to find out that it's starting over. [/QUOTE]
