[QUOTE="Hopingfor500, post: 1509402, member: 746590"] Some don't want to acknowledge this, but our brand, the Illinois name, for the last 12-13 years stinks, in both sports. The programs you mention never lost their iconic names or tradition. No kid gives a damn about what Illinois was in 2005. He's had to/is trying to change that perception. I know it's unpopular to put issues on the actual players, so for arguments sake, let's put it on his recruiting, but this team is severely lacking at the 2, 3 and 4. We don't have shooters(2 or 3), we don't have slashers(3) and I think GB is a sub par 4. He doesn't handle the ball well, his perimeter play is poor....he doesn't belong there, but that's the influence of Kofi. If you want to blame BU for anything, it's on building a roster that has holes. Their perimeter play is horrid. Outside of Frazier, who is undersized....nobody respects our shooters, which only creates more issues on the interior. I know that's an unpopular opinion, but let's face it, the additions of Kofi and Ayo directly impacted the play of GB and TF. Those guys haven't been the same. That's not an opinion, that's fact.
