In that six year period, 09-11 makes up half that time period, and as you pointed out they had plenty of 4* kids in those three years. The three years before that he was signing three star kids that had multiple P5 offers (the vast majority of them anyway). Most of our three star guys have 0-1 P5 offers. Now, it may not make a bunch of difference in the on-court results, but I think his Illinois teams were distinctly more talented than his teams here.
That's fair.
I will only say that he's managed to recruit multiple 3 stars that appear to be Big 12 caliber players. DJamer, Westicles, Marcus, Nigel, Stokes, and Brown all had plenty of moments of showing themselves to be much better than expected early in their careers. The problem is only DJamer and Westicles have been here multiple years and stayed and both have shown slight improvement, but not enough to be all league caliber players by their junior year. You've got to have some of those guys develop
4 star #1 Malek Harris is gone and didn't really look like a true 4 star. I think Wade has potential to live up to his 4 star billing and be an all league player by his JR year. We'll see on Sneed.
Regardless, oscar needs to have a tournament team next year.
