Yes he recruited Jeenathan and it was great job. But also remember, it was Coach Whitesell who developed Jeenathan during his freshman year. While on Oats' staff, Jim was in charge of the scout team, which is usually the freshmen. So Jim is a big part of the development of guys like CJ, Perk, Jeenathan, and Rondo.
This is the reason why I hope he can get another shot as an assistant somewhere, because he makes players better!
