Message: [QUOTE="wfschrec, post: 59097, member: 361"] Ok so answer me this ... prior to Cal what were UK's classes ranked, specifically post Pitino? I think there are many things Cal does on the up and up but the fact that Memphis and UMass have forfeited wins during his respective tenures then you can pretty much deduce he is the one common point between. But riddle me this before he got there what was UMass and what have they been since? I do agree that UK sells itself in many regards but you have way too many circumstances that point to one common thread and you in turn are relying on the NCAA to give you the evidence that Cal is on the level with his recruiting. Really? Really? The same organization that somehow has yet to have anything on Ohio State, the same NCAA that couldn't do a thing about Cam Newton even though his father was shopping him like a Gucci bag? Need I really even need to continue my point on this? As for what was stated by the Blue crew and Cal they pretty much said that if a recruit isn't ready to play in the UK environment and work then UK isn't the fit for that recruit. The broadcasters can discuss Coleman but Cal cannot specifically speak about him, he can just generalize. I guess that 20K Rupp crowd is much more intimidating than the 30K screaming in the Carrier Dome. The audio was linked here I will see if I can dig it up. This all comes on the heels of Coleman spurning them ... coincidence ... please. Just because you don't have black and white photos sitting on your desk of Cal handing out money to recruits (mainly because the NCAA is run by a bunch of spineless pathetic morons afraid to punish a traditional power, see OSU) then it doesn't happen and he is clean. You are relying on the blind to read you War and Peace, that is about the size of it. By the way prior to his resurfacing at Memphis and pushing out Rose and Evans who were top flight athletes to begin with how many top NBA picks was he drilling out of ... oh UMass for instance. When you are recruiting at the NCAA level in hoop and you can grab a top 10 high school player chances are he is NBA ready already and Cal knew the only way he would be able to have success is to grab the biggest names possible. Prior to Rose and Evans how many McDs All-Americans flocked to Memphis? Are you telling me that all of a sudden Memphis had this Final Four type buzz in C-USA (oh by the way a conference dominated by Louisville and Cincy prior to their defection) that all of a sudden appealed to these top tier players? By the way committing an NCAA infraction is not a felony, it is just an infraction ... something that they don't seem to care to enforce anymore based on recent history (other than USC and even that is hung up in appeals).
