[QUOTE="Cymoin, post: 1438422, member: 582451"] Two thoughts: 1) Several key players in the BR game were recruited by Groce (Frazier, Tilmon, Smith, Pickett, Nichols). At some point, all were either committed to or attended Illinois. I think that is very interesting. 2) Does anyone remember the video aired by either the University or local media in which BU sat down with someone and went over his offense and defense? This was before he'd even coached his first game at Illinois. I thought it was odd that any new coach would consent to someone recording and airing him using game film from his former teams to show his offensive/defensive schemes. Who does that? But now, I'm wondering if that might have been a recruiting strategy he was employing. Either way, I never saw the wisdom behind that decision, especially a coach who was new to the school with not much head coaching experience. I would expect that information to only be shared during the interview process. [/QUOTE]
