Everyone is piling on, including a few hs coaches, about LS lack of effort in recruiting in the state of Illinois. It would be interesting to hear Lovie's side of the story. Total lack of effort or high school coaches not liking him or giving him a chance. But I'm guessing we'll never hear from him.How did JW allow this apathy from Smith with regards to recruiting? I understand that Smith’s philosophy was to recruit Florida, Texas and the STL, but not walking into Illinois prep schools, especially the larger schools, is criminal in my opinion when you are the highest paid state employee in Illinois. Once again, how or why did JW allow this to happen?
