That was ugly, no doubt. But it was one kid. With 650+ SA's every year, and our program under an NCAA microscope covering the better part of 10 years, I would be shocked if any P5 program could match that record. Certainly UNC can't.

As far as the OP, I'm not sure I'd use the word "dirty". It's certainly disappointing and unfortunate having to face a scholarship bottleneck like this. I think running a clean program means being honest with your SA's about their playing chances, and keeping their best interests at heart. But we got whacked with a 2 x 4 ... I don't think any recruit would fault us for making tough decisions in that context.

Also, over the years JB has never relied on one-and-done D-League philosophy where the only part of a player's future he would concern himself with was his draft order. It's the opposite .. we keep most players for 4 years and they develop in all areas (academically, athletically, etc..). So I still feel good about our program, but lousy about our current predicament.
