People can say anything, and do say lots of things on here.  It does not mean it's the case, the only reason(s), or even the primary reason.

That's called "sour grapes"/homer narrative/self-soothing.  I made a post when Hop first left simply [I]asking [/I]if he could ever beat us head to head in recruiting, and was soundly ridiculed.  "A recruit would [I]never [/I]go to the West coast. even to play for a team more highly ranked than ours!!(and heaven knows Boeheim would never recruit outside the northeast)".  Not one person came to my defense(though I merely asked a question), and each time it happened an excuse was made why it didn't count.  Thankfully now I suppose we are past the time for such excuses.

To be open, this post is coming from a guy who initially [I]rejoiced [/I]when JB showed his finger to the NCAA and decided to stay!

What makes me the most curious about the Isaiah Jackson ordeal is that he "pulled a Marek" and contacted us...kind of like the relatively rare times a hot chick out of nowhere starts making moves on you when you are drunk and unsuspecting.  I wonder what compelled him to do so, or if it was only his father.  If it was his father, I wonder what compelled him.  I think the "family" thing came later, so I am wondering what the initial draw was, so that staff could build upon playing it up to other recruits.

I kind of wish JB could assign GMac or someone to call up IJ and give him one of those surveys where they say things like "With the thought of playing the 2-3 zone, would you say you were very impressed, impressed, neutral...", etc.
