Lack of Coaching Skill made up for by recruiting ability

ballstar Wrote:I agree with what ur saying but ky has a ton of young talent in this state and in eastern ky RIGHT NOW. In the past not so much. I cant tell u about down the road because we cant see into the future. Did anyone know that Ky alone had 10 kids invited to the espn top 100 camp for the class of 2014. This is UNHEARD of for KY or most other states. I guess maybe some of these kids just want to play with other great players and sure aint nothing wrong with that. Great players dont really care if the coach is a great coach they just want a coach that can get them to the next level. Just look at UK and coach cal. Great recruiter because he gets kids PAID, we have yet to see him win the big one yet though. But still every yr great young players cant wait to step into his program because they are one step closer to gettn paid. Sorry i got off my main point, lol. My point is that im sure some recruiting is taking place its just no diff whether its local or long distance. ONB, me and u have had this discussion b4 and we both know that its really not diff. Maybe easier to stomach if its local kids but not diff.

I'll have to agree with you on that.

Many of the kids who Calipari gets at UK he gets because these kids believe he can get their draft potential at its max and put them in the NBA. Cal gets the best and gets them paid.

I am not comparing Cal and Rhodes but many of these kids do want to play for Rhodes because he does have connections, which we all know he does, and these connections can get these kids looked at by certain Colleges and University. Am I saying he didn't recruit them, no I am not, but it does help when you are a good basketball player and your coach played professionally, and was an assistant coach at several University's. Rhodes will get these new boys looks, he will even get some of these other boys looks, not by UK or Duke but like NAIA. I am sure when many of these role players are Juniors and Seniors that Rhodes can defiantly get a NAIA school to look at them. But still, the main reason why I believe Cordia is getting such new players is because of Rhodes and his connections.
