Calipari is the worst.....

Yes and yes. Cal has that in him. And he could probably get one of his connects (WWW?) to tell the kid to go and maybe even sign him.

I know that's cynical, but I would not be surprised at all if Cal did something like that. Not saying he will, just that I wouldn't be surprised.

Still doesnt mean Skal couldnt see through the BS

I'm not saying he couldn't, but I can imagine it would be really tough for somebody (especially for a poor kid from overseas) to ignore a big time agent/power broker's advice and/or money.

I agree they shouldn't get compared: Ulis can dribble a basketball.

Ulis is a better basketball player than Nate Robinson, the latter being a better athlete.

There are a few things going on here.

First, how do you have a roster with X amount of players with Y amount of eligibility remaining ... And then you take LOIs for five more. And that equals more than 13 - the Maximum. In Football, there appears to be an accounting that happens. At the point you have Signing Day ... The Programs with overage push kids to greyshirt. Nudge non productive kids along. Suggest Preps to others.

My point - you don't get to have more scholarships executed than the NCAA allows for your sport. See all the LOIs for Kentucky basketball executed? I think the NCAA is strict on this. Though, I'm not VP of Compliance.

Further ... Labissiere and others of that ilk can be grabbed by NBA thinking they might develop them better than Calipari. That doesn't go for small guards & non shooters. Ever.

I don't mind Calipari pushing kids to the NBA process. I do mind not developing marginal players like the Harrison's or Johnson. They would have done better elsewhere.
