Listen, why wouldn't a recruit NOT want to play for Kentucky?  It's not a phenomenon nor miraculous.  Every playing signing a LOI wants to end up playing pro ball, what college is the best at getting their players ready to make top dollar going into the league?

As bad as this sounds, but if I'm Dejuan Coleman a few years ago I'm running to Kentucky not even looking at Syracuse for many reasons.

1. Proven track record on getting players to the league after a year or two.
2. Coach who sings my praises, does whatever he can to have me ready to go to the next level.
3. Whether I'm playing 20 minutes or 40, scouts are watching me knowing that I might only play 20 minutes because there is somebody just as good getting the other 20.
4. A championship contender year in and year out.

At Syracuse

1. Outside of Melo, how many superstars has the Cuse brought to the NBA within the past 20  years?  Jury is still out on MCW and Waiters.
2. Coach who tells the media over and over how I'm not ready and that it's absurd I'd be on a draft board when I suck as bad as I do.
3. Outside of McCullough and Ennis last year, some freshman are given the back seat to older but less talented players.
4. In the tournament every year, but I wouldn't say a major major contender every year.

I think it's simple that if I was a top 10-20 recruit where I would go and play if I had offers from at least these two schools.
