Quote of the Day
“Matt [Painter] will tell you that early in his career, he did (blink) because he got pressure from the optics of college basketball. Back then, he might have recruited somebody because Michigan State, for example, was recruiting, or he might not have recruited somebody because, for instance, Illinois wasn’t. But look at what Matt Painter has done since. He’s won with less (or prospects that were perceived to be less) for years. He is an elite evaluator.”
