[Sean Miller Fan]

Not believing money didnt change hands for the following, not including my Creighton post:

#4 recruit (from GA commits to Auburn)

#19 Bryce McGowens commits to one of the dirtiest in the game, Fred Hoiberg and bag-man assistant Matt Abdelmassah. He wasnt even considering Pitt but Trey goes to friggin Nebraska so he follows him there? Riiiight

#33 (from Charlotte) and #82 from Philly going to Marquette

#36 from Montverde and #98 from GA going to Dayton

#44 from Wisconsin going to Iowa State

#54 going to Western Kentucky. He is from KY but still

#63 from WV going to DePaul

#70 from Oklahoma going to Auburn

#106 and 112 from FL and SC going to Xavier

#124 from California going to Nebraska

You forgot the #43 kid overall (Zaon Collins) who was going to UNLV until he committed vehicular manslaughter last month while high and killed a guy right up the street from me.

UNLV parts ways with former top recruit Zaon Collins following deadly crash

A former top recruit for UNLV's basketball program will no longer join the team following a deadly suspected DUI crash.

Wow. Might as well recruit him if we want Hugley back. At least he’d have a DD in his next caper.

I usually prefer that my DD has a driver’s license...

Marquette spends over $10mm a year on basketball and has the great WoJo.

No shock kids flock there.

The Great Wojo.....LOL. That was a good one.

Do you think Bryce never considering Pitt had anything to do with Trey thinking he was recruited as a PG and never given a chance here?

Also it’s pretty rich that you think Bryce was paid but Trey was not. You really will rationalize any dumb position you take

 

[Elsalvador]

Thanks for posting the above @Sean Miller Fan
Pitt *should* recruit better than a fair amount of those teams and others.
Miami too, has had a handful of NJ/PA players go down there. Timberlake, Wong and another who's a solid player for them.

Bryce is the #19 player in the country and ia going to play at a terrible program for a known cheater. Not hard.

Correct. It’s not hard. You think Pitt is clean and no one else is. Their family either wants paid or not.

I left off Miami's NE corridors Top 100s because they've been cleaning up in that area for years. Probably should have put them on there but a Northeast kid going to play for what's normally a good program in a great location doesnt raise the type of red flags these other do.

And Trey was a top 100 recruit who committed to a historically bad team led by a guy who was busted at Oklahoma for an assistant cheating and was the bag man at Duke.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

No. Everyone else cheats. That’s why we lose recruits. We’re in America’s most livable city cmon!

Bottom of the Top 100 and didn't go through the normal recruiting process since he reclassified. Not enough time for the bag men to get involved. Its pretty clear that Pitt isnt cheating.

Your ability to rationalize and make such definitive statements with no evidence whatsoever is truly amazing.

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Your ability to rationale and make such definitive statements with no evidence whatsoever is truly amazing.

Especially since I know for a fact the common belief is we got Trey and Toney to reclass and come BECAUSE we dropped the bag. But of course, doesn’t fit the narrative.

And again, if we don’t or won’t cheat, they should’ve hired Mark Schmidt.

Also, he claims half of these bottom 100 kids must be going to these schools because they’re getting paid. And that PSU paid for Tony Carr and Steven’s who were similarly recruited. But it doesn’t fit the narrative.

It shouldn't seem that amazing. Half the country believes narratives with no evidence whatsoever

 

[BballinsiderfromPitt]

Incorrect again. 95 percent of the country will believe whatever their side tells them. Maybe 1/20 people actually see the truth lies between Fox News and CNBC.

Also @Sean Miller Fan you say we didn’t pay Trey because he was ranked 83 yet there are guys you list in the OP that were paid ranked in the 100s. So which is it?

And I’m glad to see you admit that you make stuff up and then double and triple down. As if we needed more proof that you know absolutely nothing and have zero credibility.

Don’t you get it! Pitt gets Rhoads scholars interested because they want to go to UPMC and become doctors. All these other nasty schools cheat and get thugs! Unless they end up transferring to us

If he went through a regular recruiting cycle, I would have believed that but he made a quick decision to reclassify so the bag men never got a chance to get to him.

Lol... that’s literally the opposite of how that works.

Marvin Bagley quickly reclassed. I guess the bag men never got to him!

Much different. The bag man process starts in the sophomore year for Top 5 types.

Evidence please.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Evidence please.

The FBI caught a few assistants tied to 1 bag man. That wasnt the only bag man and those werent the only assistants.

Yeah that’s the last thing u want the NCAA looking into.

unless you think Zion Williamson turned down 100k and an apartment for his dad to play for Duke for free. Even YOure not that clueless.

Of course he got paid

... so your entire premise is Pitt doesn’t paid yet they hired the guy who paid Zion Williamson. This thread should be deleted for your stupidity.

@Sean Miller Fan Do you have a response to this?

Capel didn't pay Zion. He didn't have to. At the blue bloods, places like Duke/Kentucky/Kansas have boosters that have little to no contact with the coaches.
