Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 254069, member: 966"] At this point, Calipari has no need to cheat. He will continue to get the top recruits based on what the last set did in college and then in the NBA. Why would he need to pay anyone? 1) He's young-ish. 2) He's got the right type of 'charm' for the industry. 3) His teams are going to be ranked in the top 10 and receive significant media attention. 4) His teams will be favored to go to the final four. 4) He's known for a particular brand of offense that translates to the NBA, unlike Boeheim, who's known for a particular type of defense that decidedly does NOT translate. 5) The alternatives are underwhelming. Carolina's luster is fading (slowly) with every year Jordan is out of the spotlight. Duke is still Duke, but even they aren't what they were. Who else is there? SU? Seriously? We have one thing: the Dome. And, now, we have an 'icky' program. And a glut of big men. If we're talking about recruiting Noel, logic dictates he go somewhere else. Even if he is promised a starting role, his minutes will be divided to a greater degree than if he signed elsewhere. Yeah, it boggles my mind, how our fans can be so myopic and incapable of objectivity. WE were on probation once. WE had the alleged molester on the second seat. WE have the 'drug problem.' WE have the academic problem. WE may have had players banging the pathetic wife of a coach. How are y'all spinning this so hard that you can lose truth? "[COLOR=#000000]Calipari has a track record for being a completely SlimeBall." [/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]I would disagree, with regard to the degree of "slime" attached to Calipari. At Memphis, wasn't it Rose's admissions that were the basis for issue? Something Calipari had nothing to do with? The NCAA cleared him. Wasn't there a similar issue with our own recruit that landed us on probation? Can't throw stones in that matter. Glass houses and all that. And, since then? Again - he doesn't need to cheat now. The kids WANT to play for him and they're having amazing results at the college level and in the pros. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
