ISU program is slowly falling apart, I'm being generous with that being said because in Coach Tim Jankovich tenure there he had one maybe two good years of success and not very great success of recruiting chicago area kids at all or even Illinois for that matter. I'm not sure if its a matter of promise's not being kept or just terrible coach/player relationships but quality players that they worked to bring in have all transfered out, like the lights of Jeremy Robinson, Bobby Hill (returned, only to be kicked off but will discuss that in a min), Keyon Smith (also returned, soon to discuss that too), Terry Johnson, Ty Modupe, and recently Kellen Thornton, now I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but these are the most notable and thats coming to mind. I also heard that their face of the program didn't graduate after 4 hard years in the classroom and on the court. What type of coaches allows a player of his caliber not to at least walk the stage after being on pace and course. I hear that the coaches didn't even push it just allowed it not to happen as long as he performed on the court, not understanding that at all. As a coach who has a deep personally relationship with him and his mom, referring to ISU coaches, how can u stand for it! Then rumors, of many DUI's, theft, everyone smoking weed and coaches overlooking it, players getting intoxicated early and often and even mainly the underage players, players committing credit card fraud, criminal sex charges, and registered sex offenders!! What is happening and why are the coaches doing??? ISU is no longer top in the MVC and soon see the firing of the staff.....
