Sean Miller and Will Wade Subpoenaed

[JimHurley]

I really don’t get why top recruits would want to play for a blatant cheating DB like Sean Miller. What is the draw to Arizona?

I'm going to assume you've never been to Arizona. I don't blame any recruit who goes there

Sunshine, warm weather, hot coeds.

Do they not take into consideration the coaching staff? I understand it’s a great university to be a college athlete on. But does the fact that Sean Miller is a lying cheater not enough to make them want to go elsewhere?

Good grief.

No, they don’t care nor do they really pay attention to this stuff. If the coach is clearly going to be in big trouble, then they might shy away. However, even if they did care about that stuff, don't you think the 150k might win them over?

Did you skip the years of 18-21?

I hope Kansas and UNC are on the phone with Arizona recruits. If Josh Green decommits and goes to UNC and Zeke Nnaji goes to Kansas it could help our efforts with Precious

And is the more likely scenario than any of the Zona guys having interest in us.

Kids have become high draft picks from there, and it might be the most fun school for a big time MCBB program. These are kids man. When you go on a recruiting trip and it's massive pool parties with half naked coeds....hard to turn that down.

No recruit cares about the lying/cheating thing. They probably dont' even pay attention to that. If he's a head coach, he's legit. No matter what the media or the internet says.

What about having the perfect class schedule?

Oh sweet child, never grow up.

Well how does Louisville skate in all this? It's perplexing.

I visited a buddy of mine who went to UofA and if I could do it all over again that would be my #1 choice. Only problem is I don't think I would have graduated. Being down there a week was insane. I can't imagine 4 years

That sure stopped Kentucky from ever amounting to anything on the recruiting trail.

Just passed them actually. If I was a 17 year old with big time offers, Arizona (in its current state) would not interest me. I wouldn’t want to play for a guy who’s on tape offering cash for players. Give me respectable coaches who run good programs (Virginia, Gonzaga, Wisconsin). It’s fine if I’m in the minority here

Wait what? You're ~25 and you don't understand why a basketball player from a poor family would like play somewhere where the weather is nice, girls are beautiful and you'll likely help out your family while you're there? You don't think that would interest you? What would interest you?

You think an inner city kid would rather go to Gonzaga & Wisconsin? Have you been to either of those places? Are you trolling?

I said what would interest me. Among the things that wouldn’t interest me is playing for a like Sean Miller who is being subpoenaed in an FBI investigation. Is it that hard to understand? I wouldn’t want to play for a scum coach.

Morally corrupt institutions do not punish other morally corrupt institutions.

Emmert will leave the NCAA just before the P5 leaves and forms their own governing body. He has a history of knowing when to get out.

It is easy to see why UConn got sanctioned twice for APR violations. The first sanction was for having a low APR. The second was for being honest and reporting the low APR. it was the NCAA’s wayof saying “if you want to play with the big boys understand How they play the game - amateurs.”

 

[auror]

Lol... Well those movies are ruined for me now.

Literally caught a couple minutes of one last night. Never again now.

Scum is relative. If you're a high D1 basketball player, you may see AAU programs, coaches, and schools profiting off you and figure not only should they pay you, but hopefully they're paying your teammates, too. Then a guy doing that is playing Robin Hood, not being scummy for violating phony NCAA rules.

 

[UConnNick]

Yup and it's not remotely close but I do think the programs' brands carry a similar weight. We both fell in that tier just below the true blue bloods, and both discovered success later than most of our peers in that tier. My point is just that if the NCAA decided to hammer us, I don't think Zona would be too big of a brand to hammer.

I think we were a special case because Emmert, a/k/a Satan, has a major axe to grind with UCONN due to his mismanagement of the UConn 21 building program, and the resulting fallout from his shady business dealings connected with it. He had to really stretch the rules to make a penalty apply retroactively to UConn, and only UConn, regarding the APR nonsense.

What will be fascinating going forward is how the NCAA punishes any of the schools involved or implicated in the FBI sting. Emmert also worked at LSU for a while. If he has any reason to dislike them, will they get hammered worse than anybody else? If the media perceives that the penalties are being applied arbitrarily, it puts the NCAA in the uncomfortable position of having to explain disparate punishment for what are essentially the same or similar acts. They will likely try to avoid the appearance that there's any favoritism toward any particular school or schools compared to others.

I’m 25 and probably would have tried to get top dollar if I had been a big recruit. No reason not to. Some schools would be off limits for me though—no glorified community colleges

There are girls like these at every college and university in America, my friend.

The concentration in Arizona is unprecedented. And there are year round massive pool parties with them wearing skimpy bikinis, sometimes only half of one.

Yes, you are both correct. Even the Arizona female alums and fans at the XL center in December were hot.
