Is it negative recruiting to show a recruit a picture of McD partying at a UNI pep rally?
I bet this was Frank Martins text:
my mouth might be saying "congrats", but my eyes are saying "**** You!"
How the hell did they get him to smile? It looks like it actually hurts him to do it. He looks like he is literally in pain!
But they got into the tournament. And really, for mid pack teams, that's what it's all about. Get there and let the chips fall as they may. I'd take underachieving to the elite 8 any time. Although I would call Baylor and over achiever. They went above expectations. As opposed to Kansas who, imo, was the underachiever.
Drew used to send pictures to recruits of himself, Gillespie, and Bobby Knight (the three of them lined up in some way). The caption would say "which of these coaches has signed a Mcdonald's All American?" There were red Xs crossing out the pictures of Knight and Gillespie. Knight cornered Drew at one point and basically told him that's low and that's not how us coaches do things in the industry. That's just one example.
Really, it sounds to me that Drew will do everything in his power to land a star player and to win. Willing to do whatever it take to land the player. He has ****** off a lot of the other coaches but that is a good thing in my book.
As a fan I would prefer a coach who will go all out to land a star recruit and win to one with "integrity" who is not willing to do whatever it takes.

Although I would not mind Drew leaving the Big XII...I am glad he is not heading to EIU! That would have depressed me!
Yes, I heard this story just about exactly as you described......
But I wonder why he didn't include a couple other B12 coaches in that line up ?
As a Valpo grad, I will root for Scott Drew, his father and his brother Bryce, but I hope he leaves the Big 12 so I can like him even more!
Iowa State does positive recruiting.
"Yes Coach Boeheim, you would love to have Wesley Johnson on your team, he's a great kid."
"Coach Bennett, Justin Hamilton is an excellent kid that just got homesick from Utah, I think Virgina would be a better fit for him than Ames."
"Harrison, North Carolina won the national championship last year, you should go there, Roy Williams is a class act!"
"Doug, Northern Iowa is the best program EVER!! Coach Jacobson is the man and such a cool dude! They actually win son!"
Why are the suppose to like him? They compete for players and in games, its not like they coach on the same team. When Floyd was at Ames he wasnt well liked by everyone.
John Wooden was a major cheater...paid players. Great coach...a legend but the guy built UCLA by paying players. It's not really a secret among coaches.
Do you have a link to a valid source on this? A book? I've never heard this about Wooden.
And yet another thread started with an article that has nothing to do with ISU turned into an ISU MBB ******** thread.
