Message: [QUOTE="BUConn10, post: 2765562, member: 5075"] True on paper but Iona and Hudson Valley don't have the media pull and essentially monopoly on the NBA Draft Big Board. At Iona when the coach promises his top target to be #1, and then recruits over him, he doesn't have the leverage to prevent the original recruit to declassify and go elsewhere. At Duke Coack K does, he knows Carter is better off riding the bench in Durham than going somewhere else to be the #1 option like originally planned, and for Carter's professional career he isn't wrong. The problem is the media being in financial cahoots with certain programs over others, which manifests itself as Bagley "shocking the world" and a class full of top 10 recruits. [/QUOTE]
