[HEADING=2]The unexpected rise of Keaton Wagler at Illinois[/HEADING]

after reading this article want to throw a name out there: Illinois assistant coach Tyler Underwood, Brad's son and Wagler's primary recruiter.

i think this article deserves its own thread but too lazy to make it

for one, in the NIL era, a guy who can find the diamonds in the rough would be worth his weight in diamonds

for 2, i really like his approach to talent id:

[I]Illinois scouts players through four pillars: positional size, basketball IQ, basketball character and no skill deficiencies.

"We thought he was 4-of-4, which is very rare," Tyler Underwood said.[/I]

this approach is the right one!

when was the last time SU had even 1 player with no skill deficiencies? SUs recruiting approach goes off of HS rankings and thats it

any school can find talent if they go off this way instead of just buying into the hype
