You never used google to learn this stuff or you didn't use it to compile this particular list?

We also offered Jabari Parker.

You can google it if you need to.

I don't need google to tell me anything about Foster, Atewe, Ellis, Singer, H. Martin, Brandon Parrish, Wes Westicles, Damien Jones, Dustin Thomas, Trevor Thompson, Demetrius Henry, Vitto Brown, Daxter Miles, Jordan Mathews, or anybody on the list I just posted for '14

Neat!!!

Hey, you tried to call me out, just gotta let you know what the score is..

We haven't even gotten into Jalen james, Jevon Thomas, Isaiah Taylor, Payton Dastrup, John Crosby, and Will JOnes.

Try the recruiting threads sometime, they are a blast.

Are we pretending Martin was some sort of great recruiter now? Is that the game?

Martin was a great recruiter because he was good at finding players that he could take to the NCAA tournament just about every year. Weber was a shitty recruiter at Illinois because he couldn't even get his players into the NIT. It's not the recruiting rankings that matter. It's the ability to find players that fit your coaching style so you get results.

Scoreboard noted

I have never been more ashamed:(

Frank taking over with bobs guys is very similar to weber taking over with selfs

IF you don't like being an uninformed dumbass, then they might be helpful to you someday.

not really if we are being honest

frank was bob assistant and bob was there for 1 year to build the program

oscar was never bill's assistant and took over after bill was there for a while

but I am probably just #butthurt

michigancat · « **Reply #111 on:** August 13, 2012, 08:11:54 PM »

pretty sure frank started Blake Young, Clent Stewart, and Andre Gilbert (at the same time) his first year.

i don't agree (obviously). oscar got three future upperclassmen future nba guards along with two other future nba players. the really big advantage that frank got (imo) is the more/less already assembled staff along with greenawalt.

keep up the good work UW. Sincerely.

LickNeckey · « **Reply #114 on:** August 13, 2012, 08:40:48 PM »

Damnit UW look at what oscar has done to me.

I'm not mad at you. I used to love your poignant and timely recruiting tidbits.

My butthurt is making me lash out.

It just won't go away.

Weber inherited the better situation, and Frank did much better after Huggins' players left than Weber did without Self's players.

That was a pretty awkward convo

my hope is that oscar was serious when he talked about some of his mistakes at illinois. i don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see that oscar is pretty introverted and doesn't like confrontation on a personal level.

i do think he let some players and handlers walk over him a bit while he was at illinois in an attempt to not burn bridges and play them where they wanted to play. oscar wouldn't have dom'd dom. maybe he did learn and will adjust, but more than likely he didn't and can't (he's 55). i also personally think he needs an bad person on the staff and it doesn't look like he's close to having one.

time will tell but i just don't see how this is going to work. it's v sad for me personally.

I think oscar spent 20 years or whatever being the good cop to Keady's bad and it is unrealistic to think it changes. Lowery may have a little a hole in him and Chet was a tough and gutsy player so here's to hoping...

Illinois was rolling, Kruger had righted the program after the NCAA troubles, Self was coming into his own as a great coach - it was really close to a top 10 job when Weber got it. Bob was in Manhattan for like what, 10 months?
