Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 4636190, member: 38"] Nooo….that was a hard, hard recruitment. Nope. Family did not like Jim Boeheim. (There’s a story about some of the Syracuse shenanigans for another day.) Maryland and Billy Hahn were the competition. Yep. And then we had to sweat out Ollie’s standardized tests to see if he could become eligible. The is a correct answer. No reputable school could have gotten Camby past admissions and administration. It was….bad bad. We were always second for Durant, it seemed. First, we were second behind UNC and then when they dropped out and we looked like we would get him, he visited Texas and that was that. Lawson and Ellington were never happening. Never a chance. The stories about Garnett coming here were fiction. [/QUOTE]
