Comments on: Did OSU dodge a bullet by not getting the top recruit in the country? http://blog.newsok.com/osu/2009/02/20/did-osu-dodge-a-bullet-by-not-getting-the-top-recruit-in-the-country/ Oklahoma State Cowboys sports blog from NewsOK.com Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:52:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Danny http://blog.newsok.com/osu/2009/02/20/did-osu-dodge-a-bullet-by-not-getting-the-top-recruit-in-the-country/comment-page-1/#comment-910 Danny Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:51:38 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/osu/2009/02/20/did-osu-dodge-a-bullet-by-not-getting-the-top-recruit-in-the-country/#comment-910 "Anyone remember that Adarius Bowman transferred to OSU because the coach that recruited him at UNC (Gunter Brewer) took an assistant’s job at OSU?" - Bob Schauer. Bob this is not even close to the subject. Bowman's transfer to OSU to be with a certain coach he trusts is NOT ILLEGAL. Not even considered shady. What you've missed, Bob, is that we're talking about certain kids signing with a school ONLY IF their father or someone close to them is given a job as well. THAT is the point of this blog. “Anyone remember that Adarius Bowman transferred to OSU because the coach that recruited him at UNC (Gunter Brewer) took an assistant’s job at OSU?” – Bob Schauer.

This happens ALL the time, everywhere. Why would this particular one "raise eyebrows"? It makes no sense, because the guy is going to the NBA after one season, so it isn't like you can build a team around him. He's sort of like a hired "hitman"...comes into town, does the job, and then splits. Just time for a cup of coffee, but no real interest in, or commitment to the program. Sort of like a year of purgatory because he isn't yet 19 yo.

Package deals are common. William and Wayman Tisdale anyone? OSU only dodged a bullet if they would have hired that assistant. Package deals are common. William and Wayman Tisdale anyone?

Whatever, that is total b.s. There is nothing in the rules that prohibits this activity. If you want to blame someone, blame the NBA for creating this stupid situation of 1 and done. If the NCAA wants to go after Baylor, they might as well take a look at the recruitment of Chalmers at KU (his dad joined him), Danny Manning at KU as well with his dad the trucker, Dajuan Wagner at Memphis, and Micheal Beasley for good measure. Its simply the world we live in. Right, I’m sure their eyebrows will go way up. Whatever, that is total b.s. There is nothing in the rules that prohibits this activity.

Wall is a great kid and the best talent in the nation. You have to be insane to think you “dodged a bullet” by not going after Wall.
