Sour grapes? Cynic? So be it.

In this day and age, pretty much any D1 basketball program is first class. They're ALL cool. Hence, there are no built in recruiting advantages for anyone anymore.

In my world, college coaches are guilty until proven innocent. There are no more great "recruiters" who just get players because they sold them on their program.

So when some guy comes in and sets the world on fire immediately, yeah, call me skeptical.

Remember when Hugh Freeze came in at Ole Miss and all of the sudden started getting top recruits? He was the cat's meow for a few years... and he was cheating his a$$ off.

Tell me Calipari, a KNOWN cheater, isn't cheating at... KENTUCKY ????

Lets see here... Louisville cheats, Arizona cheats, LSU cheats, Auburn cheats, UNC cheats, Syracuse cheats, Michigan cheats... I could go on.

Memphis cheated in '08, … but they're not doing it now? Especially with how neck deep Penny was involved in the sleazy AAU world?

Sampson cheated at Oklahoma... AND IU. ...But he's not cheating now.

Heck, angelic ol' coach Krizooski cheats. You know he does.

And why not? Nothing ever happens to them.

Obviously it doesn't bother me that much, I still watch it. But don't sit there and tell me Penny "has no record" of cheating... in his year and half long career.
