It's true, man. I live in Champaign. Self turned the Illini into a title contender. He had Villanueva coming to join Deron Williams, Luther Head, Dee Brown, James Augustine and Roger Powell the year he left for KU. Those were 5 NBA players and the runner up WITHOUT Villanueva who didn't come to Illinois after Self left.
Self got 5 NBA players to commit to Champaign, IL. 6 if Charlie came. You know how much success Illinois has had and how many NBA players they've recruited since Self? Ha.
Self is a hell of a recruiter and a hell of a coach. Only KU fans would be entitled enough to try and discredit his success. Embarrassing.
