City of Chicago recruiting was, is and always will be little more than a chimera for any school with actual academic standards. Unless our administration allows the new staff to recruit players that our previous staff was not allowed to recruit, it will be a minor part of our recruiting if it plays any part at all. Unfortunately this is also true of City of Milwaukee recruiting. We made great inroads into Waukegan with Keem and Jordy, but that bridge has likely been thoroughly burned.

I'm sure Todd Townsend's a good guy. I'm sure all the assistants are good guys. I'm sure LaVall's a good guy. Anyone who thinks we have upgraded our recruiting capability over Rob, Chad, Reef and Chris is being pollyannish.
