Kaminsky wasn't that great in HS. He wasn't the world beater that he is today, and a lot of that has to do with Bo Ryan's system. He had offers from Bradley, DePaul, Northwestern, NIU, SIU, and Wisconsin. Plus Illinois signed the #9 C in the nation that year in Nnanna Egwu. Obviously now you can call it a miss, but the "no reason why he shouldn't have signed with Illinois" doesn't fit here. Kaminsky wasn't a can't miss player back then, and he wasn't even an Illinois-type player at that moment in time. I get that's the point of your post, but Illinois never will be a school that searches for diamonds in the rough like Butler and Wisconsin does.
