Message: [QUOTE="HW611, post: 5344426, member: 14096"] Here’s an interesting section. Looking at Toure as a 4 year player would be pretty wild if true. [I]“Hurley and his staff viewed Toure as a great kid and a nice player, one who should play four college years and could have an NBA future. They made a substantial offer, something north of $200,000 for Toure’s first year, and let that stand without much more to say. Arkansas, Mamoudou said, paid about double what UConn offered. “Money is a big component,” Mamoudou said. “But there were teams that offered more money than Arkansas. It's not about money, like I told my son. I worked hard enough to build what little I have. I like people that respect me, respect my value, and they stay in communication with me. I could have gone to UConn if they had talked to me. But I have to look at what's the best interest of the family.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
