Didn't see this posted yet, Isaiah Whitehead not coming to the Cuse.

"They're definitely off his list,"Ericka Rambert told the NY Post. "Isaiah's not going there. That's out of the question. Once you have something like that in the program, you don't want to be a part of it. You don't know who else is involved. You don't know who else knew about it. It's a lot to deal with."

Whitehead is considered one of the fastest-rising prospects of the 2014 class, after helping Lincoln to the Class AA PSAL championship game last season. He's No. 20 on ESPN's "Terrific 25" list for 2014; he's ranked No. 19 by and is the No. 4 shooting guard according to At their request, this network is being blocked from this site.

It's actually been posted two or three times. But it still illustrates how damaging ESPN's irresponsible reporting is.

Sorry missed the posting.

Not trying to call you out or anything, sorry if it came across like that.

Seriously depressing. This is what I would expect to happen with others as well. As probation killed the first SU recruiting golden age, this will kill the 2nd.

Don't curse yourself before your cursed.

the real tragedy, we weren't recruiting him.

See my post on recruiting. Much ado about nothing. As Dasher points out, we weren't really recruiting the kid.

Maybe his mother should educate herself on the story before she jumps off a cliff and takes her son with her. Sounds like the extent of her knowledge of the situation came from Sportscenter.

It's not the program, ma'am. It's one man...who is being burned at the stake like a Salem Witch.
