I won’t argue Weber’s recruiting sucked, but I’m not sure that claim is accurate.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Who was it McCamey?

Jereme Richmond was the #1 freshman in the country when he committed around 2007. Granted, he didn’t get there till 2010. But id say he counts.

Since this kid hasn’t actually played at Illinois yet, you could actually count Eric Gordon in 2006 (until this commit actually plays here). I realize counting Gordon is a backdoor win in this argument, but at one time Eric Gordon and our new commitment were both at this same point, commitments.

If my memory serves me correctly McCamey was like #64 in the country. 40 something tops I’d say.

Great player to look at IF we can't get Stoyakovic back.

Right, which if he were the only one, the post would be correct. It’s a little short of that standard. Now it did take every bit of 4 years to get one on campus.
