this stuff would fire me up when i was young, but now there are a million things i care about more. if it works for their program and the kids are generally doing good "life things" (e.g., upped grad rate, not stealing teammate TVs, etc) then good for them.

All the 5* jewish athletes from the Southeast may pass on Dabo's program, but I guess that's the price he pays.

im not religious but i have no problem with it. it seems to be pretty out in the open so if it makes a recruit uncomfortable, they shouldnt go there. they could always transfer out as well.

Compare this with the allegations from the Florida State deadspin article.
If their religion helps these guys be better people, that's fantastic. And I'm not religious at all.
