Kansas State Basketball is hard / Re: To all the Weber haters.

And again, for the millionth time, oscar couldn't recruit Chicago but still hauled in top 25 classes nearly every year.

If you think about it, Illinois is almost the sole reason the Big 10 isn't the most utterly dominant basketball conference: sitting there is a state lousy with spectacular prep talent only to see it casually picked off by Duke, KU, etc.  Illinois should be Syracuse-esque but they've basically been more like Purdue.  Weird.

Webers's history at Illinois is obviously odd, but trying to recruit at Illinois is like living in a gold mine with only a spoon; all the riches in the world are right there but they're nearly impossible to get.  Groce's recruiting is nearly identical at this point.  Weber will do well at KSU since he'll be forced to recruit nationally and won't have to kowtow to the insane Chicago bb underworld constantly.
