Did he happen to tell you why?Forget about Kalkbrenner. We're not on his radar any more. Done. Kaput.
He ain't on the staffs radar anymore. They have been informed that he isn't coming to Illinois.Not clinging, but until it is final, we won't know and as of now he is still on our radar and should be viewed as a possibility. That said Hawkins has shown some interest for awhile now, and even though he is at prolific, he could be a solid choice as well.
Good thing this is baseball season still...strikeouts all round!!!
Why are we missing out on top 5-8 lists nowadays? It was frustrating when we kept coming in 2nd or 3rd, but now we're struggling to even make it to visits. Is this an improvement in resource management (hanging on when we will almost certainly not land the kid) or failure in our pitch?
Ten years ago I would have agreed. The way the game has changed, Kofi will need to some serious adapting.
BU always said, “I want guys who want to be here.”You could read this either way. Either this staff isn't as good at getting into these players' lists of finalists, or this staff is better at reading a recruit and deemphasizing when they feel they are out of it.
Who knows, really?

Some people go because they think they will be catered to, that it will be about them, and while no one wants people who don't want to be there, many schools "cater" to their star athletes.Which really doesn't mean a whole lot of anything. Does anyone want "someone" who doesn't want to be there?
I wouldn't say that we're completely opposed to catering and I don't think THT would see it that way either. But I would guess that we do less of it.Some people go because they think they will be catered to, that it will be about them, and while no one wants people who don't want to be there, many schools "cater" to their star athletes.

It's a more nuanced phrase - but I would suggest that the thought is that if you have to 'oversell/pressure' someone to be anywhere - it may not work out in the long term. Witness sleazy used car 'row the boat' guy up north and the number of defections over time as one example.Which really doesn't mean a whole lot of anything.

There are alot of hit and misses with recruiting. With Kalkbrenner cooling to the Illini ,explains the Hamilin commitment.
Who was the tall white kid that had a bad attitude that a lot of people were enamored with but ended up going elsewhere. I cant remember his name, but have not seen it either since then.
He starts for USC. Not a bad player, but not as good as our inside duo.Nick Rakocevic?
Yep. Unfortunately, Underwood is looking like a small timer.
