The associated press moved its own version about 10 minutes ago. Doesn't look like a huge deal

Its only a matter of time before this scumbag becomes the next Bruce Pearl.

i sure hope so but the squid has gotten away with it for years even tho he has had 2 final 4's vacated. and he's now one of the best recruiters in the nation. hate him, but he's raking in the recruits.

He puts players in the NBA which is a huge draw. I don't like him but this is nothing.

How many guys has he put there in the last few years that weren't going there anyway?

He was exposed for recruiting like 5 kids from a school that was essentially a "make believe" school and nothing happened. He is good to go for as long as he chooses to coach.

Mr. Drummond??? Is that you? If so welcome aboard!

Who gives a F?? Andre Drumond is better than all of Calimari's 5 star recruits combined...you'll see....

Who does he put in the NBA? You mean kids who would go to the NBA even if they had played for Monmouth??
Derrick Rose and John Wall were NBA playrs prior to getting "coached" by Calimari - he's a good coach but let's not put him in the "gets players to the league category.." We'll need to see if he can take a Jeremy Lamb, Kevin Ollie, Hilton Armstrong type and get him an NBA contract first............

I was getting excited by the title - but that's nothing. Written by a blog reporter - just trying to make a name for himself.

Agreed.... If he hasn't already. Pearl only cheated at one school. So Sqidward is going to be like super-Pearl. Oh wait, that makes him Mr. Krabs daughter. Actually, that's appropriate given how much money UK spends on recruits then claims "oooh, we don't bribe recruits, because we don't like paying money to recruit".

Thank you, TRest. I would say none.

Based on the title, I was waiting to read, "During an in-home visit, Coach Cal touched me in private, personnal places and I want him to pay for what he did to me.....". Darn.
