Everybody "missed" out on him, GM's, scouts, college coaches, everyone. Its still not even a legit miss to me, because he has played like 8 games, if that. Its starting to become a joke sort of.

. No one saw the kid had that much upside. Its recruiting. It happens.

It really doesn't matter. Once carmelo returns, Lin will disappear. Not saying that's a good thing, but who can't see that coming?

Donnie Nelson found the man, but did not sign him. Watch how he gets benched when CA returns.

Steph Curry is a much bigger miss than Lin. Curry's dad played in the NBA. Then, to make matters worse, everyone followed that up by missing on Seth Curry.

There are NBA players all over rosters that had few or no major offers.

So does he only recruit players that people want him to?

The only thing that bothers me is Coach is talking about no pressure to recruit this kid. Does that really matter? If he thought Lin was a player he should have recruited him. Miles certainly does with success.

Come on, man....This is kinda dumb. Should we just go ahead and fire every coach in the PAC-12 while we're at it??
