I don't believe I ever said cake walk, I said they were the team to beat and would win the Big 10, and had the best shot at the Final 4 of the Big Ten schools....let's see how it plays out.
Michigan State, has already played Gonzaga, Arizona, Ga Tech and B.C. that's a pretty tough schedule before the conference schedule...
BTW- I can't stand the Spartans, so this will be a challange to have to root for them now.

He did just fine recruiting at So. IL, taking them to the Sweet Sixteen, and leaving a loaded team for Chris Lowery that nearly beat Okie St in OK City in the 2nd round. Weber just signed a kid from Indiana that Coach K was drooling over. He may or may not get the players that Self could get, but I'm sure that he'll do much more with what he gets than Self did. Much, much better coach than Self, and we are so glad he left us. Nice job, Self! Keep losing at home to Richmond and Nevada, and keep losing in the first round to Bucknell. Loser. :finger23:KAPPER said:

False. Weber just landed the top junior shooting guard in the country, Eric Gordon, from Indianapolis, and chances are good that he'll convince another Top 5 junior, Derrick Rose, to join him. Gordon is going to be a superstar. Just hope he'll stay in college for at least 2 years. Success breeds success. Weber will be able to recruit as he has upped the stature of the program, players like him, he's proven he can coach and proven he can develop players into NBA talent. Self may have recruited Williams and Head, but Weber developed them. Illini are better off with Weber. The future is very bright.
