A lot of my colleagues feverishly wrung their hands last spring after newly hired Kansas State coach Bob Huggins poached assistant Dalonte Hill straight off of Bobby Lutz's staff at Charlotte. Hill is a former coach with the elite summer club D.C. Assault, which featured stud 6-9 forward Michael Beasley. At the time Huggins hired Hill, Beasley was committed to Charlotte, but this month Beasley signed to play for -- you guessed it -- Kansas State. Huggins was slammed for the move, but did it ever occur to the slammers that Lutz may have also hired Hill for the purpose of getting Beasley?
[QUOTE=NinerLoudNProud;200638]Guys I just found something shocking.
Dalonte Hill, prior to being hired to by Lutz, played AT CHARLOTTE.
He even played a full season with LUTZ AS HIS COACH.
And to think he was hired as a coach here. I’m sure Lutz wasn’t even aware of that when he hired Dalonte. Someone should ask Bobby at Lutz Live.[/QUOTE]
I was about to say the same thing… This guy is an idiot. It’s one thing to start conversation about such a hot topic, but goodness! It needs to make sense!
Is Davis a Huggins brown-noser? Things must be realllllllllllly slow when he starts coming up with BS like this. How about some factual information instead of a conspiracy theory blog. :blink:
I’m pretty sure the NCAA has turned core classes into a recent issue. Remember the list of prep schools that were under investigation? Now the NCAA seems to want to blacklist the kids who attended those schools (Chad Gray, Delroy James, Phil Jones, Charles Bronson, etc.) unless they attend community college or something.
Michael Beasley was homeschooled, was he not? I believe I read that Oak Hill let him play basketball but was not really responsible for his education. Wouldn’t that automatically subject him to major, major scrutiny by the NCAA if the playing field is level? After all, how can the NCAA justify rejecting a high school grad but accepting the core classes of a homeschooled kid?

He attended Oak Hill and took classes. He was homeschooled the previous year but played for Riverside Baptist or something like that. How homeschooled kids can sail through the Clearinghouse, regardless of their name, but Jones can’t is beyond me.

He went from public school in Maryland to IMG (Florida) to home schooled by the wife of his AAU coach, then to Oak Hill and now to Notre Dame prep. That’s at least five “schools” that we know of.
