It's the way he did it.  If he wasn't sure, say "I'm not sure" and we can hedge our bets, just like he did.  He waited until AFTER we turned away 2 guys, and AFTER the early signing period ended, when more than 80 of the top 100 have made their decisions.  He was supposed to be the drawing card that was going to bring other players here, but he didn't make that commitment several times when he could have, and tried to assemble an incoming class around him.  We gave him that opportunity, and he was not up front with us.

If you're not sure, say so, and then we say, "OK, the first guy to take the scholarship is our guy."  He screwed us, this kid, with the way he handled it.  If you don't see that, then you don't understand sales and business, which is what this is, just as you said.  Somebody on our staff ought to talk to the coach at Neumann and tell him that we won't do that again with any of his players.  Very disappointed with how this was handled.  Kenny Smith Part 2.
