Hmmm.
The line wasn't meant as a knock on Calipari...there are plenty of other ways to do that.
But it obviously could be and was taken that way.
It was meant to underscore the guy was a player...Cal doesn't recruit second-raters.
Probably the best player out of NJ his senior year...ranked ahead of Terrence Roberts.
A very sad case of a kid from a tough background getting breaks because of his basketball skill and not being able to handle it.

But...since it's slow during the summer...I'll take the bait and play along.

Do Calipari, Boeheim, or any other coaches really care about ex-players in trouble?
Or is all they care about what players can do to win games for them?

Who's the worst?
Maybe Dana Altman is in the lead for bringing Brandon Austin to Oregon after Austin left Providence under the cloud of a sex assault investigation.
Or is Steve Lavin the frontrunner...for recruiting Dominic Carter, a guy kicked out of Oregon along with Austin under the cloud of a rape allegation?

Do any D-1 coaches care about the potentially dangerous recruits they bring on campus?
(It's a rhetorical question. The answer is obvious).
The only surprising thing is that more victims of thugs don't sue the schools for creating the danger.
