uh oh, trying to follow Francis03 ...

whoever tries to recruit this kid for SU, he has to overcome the fact that SU didn't give him
the time of day the first time around, and unlike Duval, he remained a car ride away.  that's 
a big overcome, I'd think.

one question/comment on guys who do the recruiting.  i mean, does it really matter who SU
sends as the lead guy?  you know what SU offers as a program, right?  everyone does.  you
know what UK offers, you know what Kansas, Duke, and other top programs offer.  a guy is
not going to choose a program or not because assistantA camps out at his door / contacts him
every day, cuz there's a strong chance assistantA leaves.  there's only a few assistants that have
been mentioned on the boards as mattering much, the guy at AZ richardson, the guy at Oregon
from Canada, maybe a couple of others.  you could send me, i'd beg / plead / overpromise on a 
daily basis, list all great about SU, why it's better, but if the head coach isn't going to put in the
effort, it's not going to matter.  quade's coach said GMac did everything he could've, but it seems
it came down to Calipari present, JB not, and that was that.  get hop AND JB after this guy,
use Moyer, say they messed up related to a lot of players recently, lost their focus, etc, and
talk what he could do.  and while at it, i'd suggest losing the public doghousing of a player,
but that's a different topic.
