Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 2136425"] It helps Syracuse in that it speaks to JB's character and demeanor. He's a 'what you get is what you see' kind of coach. He doesn't blow smoke up players' butts. Some recruits will like that, some will not. I'd argue the ones who don't like that are not players we'd want in the program. I don't think NBA teams or pro scouts put much, if any, value in what a college coach thinks of his players' talents. They might be interested in what a player is like off the court, but they'd leave the talent evaluation to themselves. So I don't think JB is hurting any of these players by telling the truth to the media. [/QUOTE]
