That's a great article. He doesn't really go all the way in on it, but the end of the article hints at the hypocrisy of college coaches (Pitino here).
quote:
If you're looking to fight the war of shoe company involvement in college sports, you missed it. It's over. The shoe companies won.
And you know who else won? Players.
Remember them?
Here's what I don't like when players get bad-mouthed for letting shoe companies and potential future earnings and relationships come into their college decisions.
It's the smart thing to do. It's not against the rules. And it only makes sense. I don't like shoe companies dropping tons of money on these guys as high school players, but what I like or don't like doesn't matter. The NCAA allows it. Play on.
Here's another reason players shouldn't be blamed for considering what shoe companies have to offer.
They're only doing what the coaches do. You know who else is taking millions of dollars from shoe companies? Coaches. Rick Pitino is one of adidas top coaches in terms of endorsements. You can't find one that doesn't have a big shoe deal. Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Jim Boeheim, the whole gang.
If the NCAA is doing business with the shoe companies, and schools have large apparel and equipment deals with them, and coaches are under contract to them, you're telling me that players somehow shouldn't be influenced?
Please. That shoe dropped a long time ago.

Looking at that post, I feel really good about what he says about LSU. I hope Ben keeps on him and Jordan can tell him how much he's enjoyed his time there.
I'd love for him to pull the trigger and commit. Come on ELI!!!!

That is quite a glowing review of his visit. Good to hear.

It also reinforces just how much I love Les. He is the man.

The TE offer is pretty awesome.

Maybe I am biased, but it seems like it's clearly an LSU-SMU matchup

Just got a prediction for Blakeney from Jerry. The lemmings will soon fall in line. I don't know what to do with my hands.

Quannas White is going all in on Evans. White was the pice of shite that kept on Malik Morgan to transfer out of LSU and finally got him to go to Tulane, which got him hired at Tulane.

I love having a 6'5" SG as an option... Auburn recruiting has been scary good lately but everyone is thinking Evans to Tulane. Only time will tell with him.

Gut feeling for me says Tulane also...
But I really believe this kid can play right away anywhere..would be nice to have

Losing Evans to anyone isn't much of a blow if we can secure Blakeney...AND Sampson too
