Louis King to Oregon

[Kbee3]

Hudson Catholic.
Did we offer ?

 

[jrh51]

Yes

 

[biazza38]

Yes, but Pike was never all in with that group of guys. He has his targets and is getting them.

 

[TDIrish27]

King may be the best senior in NJ--------talented enough to be a 1 or 2 and done kid.

At this point in the rebuilding process that kid isn't coming here.

His teammate PG Luther Muhammed committed to Buckeyes----a really solid player IMO.

This was crushing to SHU as they thought for a long time that they would land him.

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Oregon and Maryland were the likeliest teams to land King who really wanted a Kentucky offer....Calipari never offered, otherwise he was heading to Lexington.

 

[Mr_Twister]

King will not be the only NJ guy at Oregon. Joe Pisarcik's son Jake (Shawnee HS) is an OL at Oregon football, for (ex-Rutgers) OL coach Mario Cristobal.

Hawk, isn't that the truth about almost every kid ranked among the nation's top 25 players?

They really don't recruit but select right

 

[RUJMM78]

They really don't recruit but select right

Duke also.

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

They really don't recruit but select right

Because the top recruits know they pay very well.....they all want the money....lol

RUC

Do you blame them for that ? I certainly don't.

We have a system right now where we have sports that everyone is making obscene amounts of money except the participants .

They shouldn't feel like they have a right to some of it ?

I'm a poor kid from the south side of nowhere and some guy is offering me large amounts of cash to do what I'm going to do anyway for the next whatever years at some school while another school isn't.

How many young people can say no to that ?

Not many in my view.

 

[RUJMM78]

Until there are real penalties for recruiting infractions the status quo will continue because there is too much money involved and the NCAA shows a lack of interest.

 

[TDIrish27]

Correct but the issue in a situation like a Louisville is if you give them the death penalty for 2 years which IMO you would be justified doing you literally wreck the economy of the area.

That's how tied the city and the area around the Arena is to Ville Basketball.

Their sports programs drive the local economy.
