#13 ranked player in the country Terrance Jones held a press conference to where he committed to Washington. After seeing this, Cal called him up right away, and now has convinced him not to sign a LOI. Looks like he is going to go to Kentucky. I wonder what Calipari offered Jones?
What a shady shady man. Can't the NCAA step in and just get rid of this loser? Cal had plenty of time to recruit this kid and he picked Washington. What changed on a phone call?............
Why have a press conference if you aren't going to sign your LOI then? If he hadn't signed, Cal did nothing wrong by calling him.
Duffel bag with cash.
You are right. Technically he didn't break the rules....but it is wrong on so many levels. The kid was still in the auditorium where the press conference was. People were still in there. The kid made the decision. What did Cal say to him? He had to have offered him something......Quote:

Terrence Jones to Washington? Not until pen hits paper. - The Dagger - NCAAB Blog - Yahoo! Sports
FYI the kid Kanter that already decommited from Washington is the #3 ranked player in the country
A starting spot maybe?Quote:

Nope. Not that either. Considering he offered him a year ago and has been putting the full court press on him the whole time. In the end the kid picked Washington. Classless Calipari then called him and was able to get him to change his mind? How? What did he sell to him?Quote:

My guess would be something like this...
1. I am going to start you on a team that will definitely make it to the NCAA tournament.
2. I put 5 guys in the draft this year that will likely be taken in the first round.
3. I am building another super team of freshmen and want you to be a part of it.
4. Do you really want to go somewhere where it rains all the time.
The kid could've been looking for a guaranteed starting spot.
I thought that was Bill Snyder's credo.Quote:
