Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2571186, member: 153"] The Diallo thing is difficult to understand too. He was on campus a lot, surely Ollie was recruiting him hard, and we had posters here constantly noting Ollie was at his games. The final tel was that we had word he was going to commit to UConn for the spring, then a day before he was going to enroll, Calipari ends up in Connecticut and convinces him not to. Hard to conclude from that that little effort was made. Mind you, I don't believe that Ollie had a sudden switch and started recruiting less after his divorce. Ollie had these problems recruiting in his first year as well. Remember when Abu's people in Boston said that Ollie and staff weren't hardly recruiting (a kid who used to go around in UConn gear)? So I do buy the idea that Ollie doesn't recruit hard. I question it though in Diallo's case. [/QUOTE]
