Huskerpapa Posted January 17, 2018 Report Posted January 17, 2018 I read a post-game in an Illinois paper after our recent game and they had a sub-set article referencing that Florent signed with Baylor. Illinois believed they were in the final three along with Nebraska and Baylor on this kid. They opined that perhaps Illinois actually passed on the kid because he was a project and would have a long development curve. Further, they felt the team already had enough projects and couldn't take a chance on another one. Was this sour grapes due to the miss? I don't know, but if true, could the Huskers been thinking the same way? Quote
