Daddy Sidney messes us over in the same way Mama Hopson did. That's why I'm not counting Renardo until his faxed papers are in hand. Who knows, maybe one day we can find an orphan that's listed in the Top 10 players in the country that can actually make his own decision.
Sidney, like Hopson, is obviously playing the game. If Calipari wants him, he'll get him, because Calipari plays the game better than most. Stans plays it too, but not as well as Cal.
That's what gets me about basketball recruiting. It's not about being a great salesman or a great recruiter. It's about who you know and what kind of deals you can make.
That's why I have a harder time getting into basketball than the other sports, because it's the most corrupt by a wide margin. You know that most of the teams that are on top are there because of the way they are playing the system, not because they are better coaches or better recruiters. It's just a little bit too tainted for me.
And that goes for my school as well. AK will play the game some at least, which gives us a shot, but it's still one of my least favorite college sports because of the way it's handled.
