when stuff like this happens, who cares. Kid doesnt care about winning or playing in the tournament or being coached well to become better..... That much is obvious given the school he went to. So now knowing that, I dont care we didnt get him.
RECRUITING: Shakur Juiston commits to UNLV (Part Two)

Maybe it was just a last minute hail mary attempt because Prohm had heard he was leaning towards UNLV
Yeah, I've seen that too. The quote was "Hookers are legal there" or something to that effect.
That is incorrect and I was trying to make the point that when a recruit chooses another school because the other school obviously did something illegal (which is the ONLY reason anyone would choose another school over my dear 'ol alma mater) then we should be exact on what we accuse them of. SINCE UNLV obviously got him "hookers" on his visit to Vegas then it was not only against NCAA rules, but it was against the law UNLESS they drove him at least 1.25 hours away.
I think we are arguing 2 separate points here and I am correct on the legality point. Now, if you want to discuss the true intention of my post....
Maybe I forgot this...
Yeah, when I was in California I had a couple coworkers go to Pahrump. They made like appointments and all.
This. While I am upset that SJ did NOT commit to us, I guess I'd rather have him play for a team like a DePaul or UNLV - who are probably not going to make the NCAA tourney (based upon a decade or more of history) - than someone else in our league or an NCAA qualifying team that we could possibly match up with in the tourney.
That's fair. But its fresh, and we were given signs we stood well with him, so I think its also okay that it takes a few messages/vents/discussion and people will move on in a day or two. On to the next. Vaughn memory comes out now and then, but its not like we spend much time talking about him. This too shall pass.
The fact he was even considering UNLV was a red flag to me. Give me someone who appreciates winning, fan support, and a good college.
I for one think we're fortunate to have a coach who cares enough about kids to do something like that. It was plain last season the emotion(s) on display during the postseason, and on senior night, were very real.
Not to mention he can coach, too.
It also says that this kid didn't even have the courtesy to give Coach Prohm a call and let him know his decision.
How do we know he didn't?
I assumed that the Beverly visit was set up after they found it with as timely as it was.
That's pretty crappy.
Somebody on a KU board said the AAU coach is known as a pre-professional agent. That sounds about right.
Randy is asserting that he didn't. My complimentary views are up or I'd quote it.
Gotta open that **** in an Incognito tab, man.
next time I see us go up against a UNLV for a recruit, I am just going to assume there is no way we will get him. I am not going to bother with getting my hopes up as long they are involved with a recruit.
Also telling that Juiston stopped responding to Randy and then when Randy finally reached the JUCO coach, the JUCO coach now didn't want to talk about anything to do with his recruitment. Before the JUCO coach had a lot to say and seemed to be involved. Then nothing. That tells me he wasn't too happy with how Juiston ended up handling things or with something that went down.
I think Prohm and Juiston stopped following each other pretty fast on twitter for what that is worth.

The UNLV thing worked great for Vaughn. He was drafted where he would have been drafted had he gone to any school and the UNLV pro-style offense has allowed him to be a complete bust through two years in the NBA.
