I was talking more about transfers -- yeah, they were washouts at their first place for whatever reason, but Royce and BDJ still had NBA talent written all over them.
No guarantees that game was any cleaner than the AAU circuit.
He definitely failed at landing Vaughn and Diallo.
It is the latter. At South Carolina he brought in their best recruits, Thornwell and Dozier, who of course led them to a final four last year.
It's the latter.

"“We’re very fortunate to have Lamont join the Cowboy family,” said Underwood. “I take tremendous comfort with Lamont in terms of who he is and what he stands for. His ability to work and interact with our players is second to none. He has established recruiting ties all over the country, and I consider him one of the top recruiters in the country. There’s no doubt he’ll benefit our program and our student-athletes for years to come.”"

Yeah, but Brad Underwood has been a head coach for 4 years, 3 of which were for a mid-major school who he took to the NCAA tournament. He left OSU because they refused(or weren't quick enough to the draw) on paying the man the money he deserved, so he took a job at a historically better Basketball program for way more money. There was an assistant who he had been associated with for 1 year on that squad, that stayed at that school when he left for Illinois.
I am not sure how he has done anything remotely close to what Lane Kiffin did? Could he have had some knowledge of what Evans did? Sure. But to compare Underwood to Kiffin is quite the reach, in my opinion.
Lamont is facing 80 years in prison, plea deals sometimes bring out additional facts.. Underwood may slide by, but poor Frank Martin, not so much.
Conditt is set to make his announcement on Monday. Illinois was in to see him last night.
Will be interesting to see if Prohm and company see him one final time this weekend. I still feel pretty confident he will be a clone.

Except Underwood knew Evans well. They coached together at Kstate as assistants under Martin.
ABC ABC ABC there, Mr. Prohm.
Not a long drive...
...and there are a dozen Des Moines to Chicago flights a day.
Then again...
...but stranger things have happened.
If Prohm drives/flies to Chicago this weekend, I hope he has plans other than seeing Conditt considering he is taking his OV to New Mexico this weekend.....
Maybe they also feel Colin Castleton slipping towards Michigan. Could you imagine if the Illini miss on both of them? How do their writers react??
He should have waited a week on his OV to UNM and gone to this for fun...

...then committed to Iowa State afterwards.
Your recruiting guys/writers whatever you want to call them are the biggest homers I've ever seen.
Why did they take the picture in such a tiny room? It looks like the office from Being John Malkovich.
