He sure uses the word "steal" very liberally. If recruits were chattle, this might hold some water. But, they aren't and his argument is (somewhat) invalid. I see he also thinks that recruits were "pressured" into commiting. Sparty likes to play this card, a lot, and yet I have yet to see anything directly attributed to a recruit, that indicates they were pressured into commiting. A lot of sour grapes IMO.

Really?  Illinois uniforms look like they were purchased from Bass Pro Shop during hunting season. 

Good luck with both of your programs the next 10 years.
