Does anyone have a strong feeling with how Muller is viewed by Illinois or nearby state AAU Coaches? Based on what I understand he is not looked at favorably and that is not good for ISU. Unless he is bringing 5 star recruits in from other states he should be spending 90% of his time around the area. Its inexcusable to overlook some of the talent that other rinky drink programs get that ultimately snake bite and embarrass ISU basketball.
Maybe he has burnt some local bridges and due to that he has been forced to expand his recruitment territory. I have no firsthand knowledge but there might be something to this. It's abundantly clear that we are not doing well recruiting in our own backyard. Currently, four Redbirds are from the state of Illinois.
