Shumpert trims the Illini--down to 5 schools

Actually, it doesn't happen often elsewhere. Maybe Indiana, after they lost some of their best recent recruits to out of state schools, but I actually don't remember hearing that players like Greg Oden, Josh McRoberts, Dominic James, etc. were harassed.
I wouldn't be surprised if some did happen because I recall how disappointed Indiana fans were that they didn't land those players. But the IU fans mostly took out their frustrations on their coach, Mike Davis
But I am not aware of it being a phenomenton that is seen in other states quite like here in Illinois where fans seem to think it is their birthright to get the top Illinois kids every year.
 
Shouldn't this be a recruiting violation? Just like the situation mentioned above where people were hitting the player's myspace?
 
I remember Shaun Livingston being harrassed after going to school in an IL jersey the day before he announced he was going to Duke & then jumping ship for the NBA.

Wow! this person can say "pissing" them off and I can't even call someone an i*d*i*o*t without it being starred out?
 
Sorry. But our censorship committee has ruled that i*d*i*o*t is too often used on bulletin boards as an insult hurled at another poster. Thus the ban on that term.
"Pissed off" comes close to unacceptable vulgarity, and that was debated for a while by the committee. But, believe it or not, it is now listed in many dictionaries as a legitimate term.

Not sure if this has been posted here or not - saw this over on the Kansas board.

Someone said that this was actually sent to Iman Shumpert and Iman had this picture in one of his facebook albums a while back.

I can't imagine a world where any sane coach would send this to a recruit. It can't be real, can it? It would be enough for me to drop ANY school from my list.

We gave it our best shot. That's all you can ask. Now we can focus on other great players for our remaining scholarship for 2008.
 
I'm not depressed....more disappointed than anything, but I wasn't truly counting on him being here. It's always nice to dream though!
