Well said.  The Rob Johnson thing both the PS and Raw Recruits said was "he represented SU in NYC, steering recruits".  At the time, Conrad was the first recruit out of NYC we signed since Pearl, who wasn't affiliated with him I don't think.  Even if he was that was 6 years earlier.  They kind of tied Gene Waldron to him if I remember, who was a frosh like 10 years earlier.  If we were really running this crooked recruiting operation with him in NY, certainly didn't get their money's worth.  Especially missing out on Kenny Anderson the same year they got Conrad, arguably the biggest recruiting miss ever in terms of the glaring hole he would have filled, didn't chase hard after anyone else, and the talent he would have played with.  In all that investigating the whole Johnson thing was all that turned up in recruiting.

They also turned Owens shooting a couple of baskets before a practice on his visit an "illegal tryout", one player visiting a month before their frosh year started crashing at a player's place "illegal housing to recruits" since they hadn't started classes yet.

Violations sure, but the PS made it out way worse than it was IMO.
