Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2359281, member: 153"] The thing people mostly remember about Calhoun's recruiting is the Tony Kornheiser article on Rudy Gay. Calhoun got wrecked for paying Baltimore Parks & Rec. $22k. But this was legal back then and people did it regularly. Worse, people paid the AAU club directly, not even a city entity like Parks & Rec. So Calhoun got a bad rep because Kornheiser was friends with Gary Williams. Not only this, but after the Rudy Gay recruitment, you had many coaches comping F4 tix to AAU guys, and soon enough, players would come their way. How many tickets did Gary Williams comp the Pump brothers when he beat out UConn for Pump AAU (and New England prepster) player Nik-Caner Medley? [/QUOTE]
