Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 190968, member: 1764"] There is a decent chance it does get overturned, but there is also a better chance 2/20 comes about and the NCAA decides to use the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 data, in which case it doesn't have to be overturned. I know as many Cuse fans that don't want Hopkins, I would bet. Don't kid yourself, most kids come to Cuse for Boeheim as much as they come to UConn for Calhoun. Ollie recruited and landed DeAndre Daniels, Ryan Boatright, Andre Drummond and Omar Calhoun. He has really solid ins with AAU programs in the NE area and Cal area. I think he's off to a great start on that front. The postseason ban may open it up for AO to transfer, which is ironic considering he is the only player left that was on any team with a bad APR (though not his fault). I would doubt AO transfers, if he was going to, it was when JCM left (there is a chance he tries to leave early to the NBA, according to some knuckleheads). Finally, assuming Ollie takes over: "Blaney pointed out (Ray) Allen's high praise for Ollie. 'He really went on a lot of different areas: the players on the Celtics team, [B]a lot about Kevin (Ollie), what Kevin meant to him as a player – how Kevin drove him to be better than he was, that Kevin’s work ethic and his ability to make me work harder was something that is still ingrained in me today. To me, that was a great tribute to Kevin.”[/B] And the fact that [B]Allen decided to make the trip to Storrs at all was "a tribute to Jim (Calhoun) and how he’s built this program, and the kind of players that he’s had in this program that still want to give back[/B].'" This won't go away as long as someone like Ollie is at the helm (or whoever Calhoun endorses), and that helps recruiting a ton. Having random NBA players playing pickup games in the summer and HOF's like Ray Allen stopping by. Soon it will be a few of the guys Ollie has coached coming back in Kemba/Drummond/Lamb/etc. [/QUOTE]
