He is probably shocked or upset because pikiell and hobbs go way back and are UCONN boys. It is one thing to leave the program for an oppurtunity. it is another thing to steal away a key piece to your recruiting class. No honor amongst thieves i guess.
Yeah.. pretty standard for recruiters to be hired BECAUSE they will drag along a key recruit. But Hobbs did us dirty and Ndongo was clearly used by Hobbs.
How did the conversation go..
"Hi Baye, its Carl... yeah.. you know how I was telling you how great Rutgers is for the last couple years.... funny thing... I am now down at Georgia Tech and, boy this place is just peachy! You'll love it here even more!"
"Yeah.. I know you love Rutgers... but I'm telling you, they made me lie to you. Pike doesn't even like you. I'm the guy who sold him on you. Without me... I just don't know how good it will be there for you..."
"You are a much better fit down here at Georgia Tech."
