Back when one of my guys was recruiting top players it was
$5G for a Home visit
$10G for the player to come see your school and use one of his trips
$50-$100K for signing

That is crazy. If he can stay healthy he will be the next big thing in the NBA.

Every school in the country would love to have someone with that talent.

yeah i have seen some of those and the guys are usually clumsy looking and really raw. This one seems different to me. Very smooth.

It's possible. He's a guy that you hope stops growing. If he does he has potential to be great.

What was the max that would be dropped off in the 1st National Bank's Sr. VP/Director's condo in Lake Point Tower for a needy DePaul player back in the early 80's? I was too young to respectfully ask back then.

It isnt just about playing hoops. Its how you handle everything else as your life changes. Marcus Smart needs to see that, Leon Smith didnt. Lamar Odom has issues with it.

It was Scottie was No Tipping, he didnt know.

It was we never saw the best of LLoyd daniels.

The luck of getting the right people around you is a huge part of this.

The fact a kid is only allowed to visit 5 campuses on the schools dime limits those who even send the letter. Example, U of I should save the stamp.
