[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1357764, member: 527609"] Lack of depth =/= Lack of talent Lack of experience =/= Lack of talent Lack of positional balance =/= Lack of talent Lack of fit to system =/= Lack of talent Some of those other things are problems for this Illini team. The talent is not. And the idea that we're suddenly going to wake up with 10 is ahistorical and fanciful. Brad Underwood's success is predicated on building a 3rd outpost of what Bob Huggins is doing at WVU and what Frank Martin is doing at KSU/South Carolina. Are those teams loaded with elite recruits? Do they have the talent to compete? What those teams have is a bottomless supply of Kipper Nichols' and Damonte Williams' who play with their hair on fire and execute flawlessly. They also have big, long rim protectors, which we need badly, agreed. [/QUOTE]
