re: I can't get over the teams that LSU BB is rubbing elbows w/ recruiting wise.

He came from a school that recruits for itself outside of the basketball court. Maybe Alleva viewed that as a positive with our APR problems, thinking he could connect with players and their families who are searching for a coach who places academics as a high priority. Only problem is there aren't too many of those kids looking to play basketball in the SEC and LSU isn't Stanford. And beyond that Trent didn't seem interested in doing the song and dance for any recruits and wouldn't hire assistants with southern ties to do it for him. It is puzzling and frustrating to look back at it, glad we have come out all right so quickly.
