2012 MBB Pac-12 Commitment Tracker

Pretty much everything wrong with college hoops summed up in two paragraphs:


Parker's commitment comes on the heels of Muhammad's announcement that he would join the Bruins over Kentucky and Duke, and he is now the second signee largely credited to assistant coach Korey McCray. Both Parker and Adams played on McCray's Atlanta Celtics AAU team, and Howland gave McCray, whom he hired before last season, his due.

"No question; Korey McCray has done an incredible job recruiting both Jordan Adams and Tony Parker from his home state," Howland said. "Were he not on staff we wouldn't have gotten either one of those kids."

I don't know how I feel. As long as there isn't an agent relationship, I'm not sure it's a problem.

Besides, Tad was at KU when Larry hired Danny Manning's pop as an assistant in order to get Danny to sign. National Championship. I'm cool with it when the time comes for Tad to make a move like that at CU.
 
It's good for UCLA obviously, but it really puts the pressure on the rest of the conference to bring in star talent. Going to be hard to compete with what Arizona and UCLA are able to do in recruiting.

Maybe Boyle doesn't get the top level/one and done type talent, but he gets the next tier after that.. and it's kids that want to stay for 3 or 4 years, as they know Colorado can help turn them into NBA level talent

I just finished reading Illegal Procedure: A Sports Agent Comes Clean on the Dirty Business of College Football last night, so I am probably a little hypersensative/critical to this stuff right now. But the line becomes so blurred, the difference between an AAU coach, a runner, an agent and an assistant coach hired to deliver players is so small.

I know this is nothing new and happens all the time, just seems shady at the surface level and probably becomes even more so when you dig a little deeper.

By definition, if you are regularly recruiting star power, then your program has shady dealings with the AAU and it would not be comfortable to have the NCAA know what you're truly doing. No top teams are exempt from this.

If your program wants start power it needs to be shady. I would love to see the NCAA crackdown on teams with close AAU affiliations. Doubt it will happen, but it's easily the worst part of recruiting in all of college sports.
