One of my Illini friends tells me that Josh Cunningham is in Champaign-Urbana t oday & tomorrowworking out with the Illini players and meeting with coaches..
also reportedly visited DePaul earlier this week...
What does it say about a coach, a program, or a school that their recruiting strategy is to focus on mid major transfers who have had limited success...
I wish Josh well, and would have enjoyed watching him for the next three years.
But my guess is he hasn't shown the programs recruiting him game film from the home loss against Augustana College -- our first look at our Top 100 recruit -- where he was held scoreless by a Div 3 school. That really opened my eyes to a surprising lack of offensive skills. He went on to have some really nice rebounding games, but missed a ton of 3s and never really showed 1-on-1 skills.
Groce is probably gone after this year if his team does not perform. By time Josh sits out a year Groce and all his assistance will be history. And the saga will continue.
the writer disses on all the mid-major transfers Illinois has pursued the last few years but then says he'd like to see Cunningham as an Illini...
"While I would normally hesitate for Illinois to again invest in multi-year transfers after Groce's first dive into that pool didn't pay enough dividends
-- no NCAA Tournament appearances the last two seasons while investing four scholarships invested into Rayvonte Rice, Aaron Cosby, Ahmad Starks and Darius Paul -- Cunningham provides a unique opportunity.
... long, tenacious athlete and proven rebounder... blue-collar fours who can rebound and finish around the rim.."
Then he says... "People often forget that he was a top 100 player on Rivals (#88 ).....He can shoot it from distance...
He is the type of player that should really help out with rebounding and on the defensive end."
Often forget?? LOL - How can we forget - I hear that fact mentioned multiple times in every article and every message board post - probably heard about his pre-college ranking 1000 times! And "can shoot it from distance"??
Sure - he can shoot it but he can't make it....who are they fooling?
