I think Whitman will go after the big boys with his best pitch, but we have to face that as a program we've made some mistakes. We haven't had a long term coach to build a coaching pipeline ala Wisky, Ohio State, etc. And we're not a Blue Blood, so we're not going to be able to pull from the "any coach we want" pool. I think we need to take a serious look at the coaches that WANT to coach at Illinois. I'm not sold on Cuonzo as a coach that can get us to the next level regularly, but I'd rather give him a shot at it than taking a risk on a complete wild card. Previous Message I guess I'm setting myself up for being a member of the Settler's family, satellite dish and everything. :-) If we take a run at all the big names (a la the Shaka year) then I guess I can't ask for much more. Sorta sad.
