Baru went to C of C as a package deal with his guardian's son who barely had two local Division 3 offers. Baru should be in the ACC or SEC and the A10 or CAA at worst. Here's a short post from Evan Daniels who isn't nearly as biased a reporter as our good friend Andy Katz: http://evandaniels.yardbarker.com/blog/evandaniels/baru_saga_ends_in_a_weird_way/3741883 Back to Top Bob Haldeman General User Member Since: 1/1/2005 Location: Parkersburg, WV Post Count: 149 Status: Offline     RE: This is what we need.....    Posted: 12/6/2010 9:29:45 PM  Have either of these jokers met Myron Piggie Jr.?

It doesn't sound too different from how we got Nick Kellogg actually. It's under the table where everyone can see cheating that the NCAA needs to put a stop to. This is not at all how we got Nick Kellogg. Alex is and was a legitimate Division I basketball prospect who played a year at Providence before coming here. Did it help in landing his brother? Hell yeah it probably did but there were also legitimate reasons to recruit Alex himself (namely the fact that you can count on a hand missing three fingers how many bruisers we have on this team). This kid Baru is bringing with him to C of C is no better at basketball than most of the student managers we have on staff at Ohio. He barely had 2 Division III offers from schools that frankly aren't very good in the ODAC. Secondly, from what I've heard, he's not even that close to the older son who's going with him as he is with the younger son. So all this garbage that they're best friends and la de dah is ridiculous. This is along the lines of when Chalmers and his dad went to Kansas and numerous other occasions all around the country and it makes me sick. I know that's what it takes to land these elite kids but in my mind this is just a step down from the whole Cam Newton mess and something the NCAA needs to seriously evaluate.

He's implying that the recruitment of Baru by Cremins has other facets to it that are unethical, if not entirely illegal according to the NCAA rulebook (if that still exists). Agree with JCW, that it boils down to how you want to use your scholly allotment and dollars when offered a package of Tom Brady and Peter Brady...but you can't just outright cheat to get Tom Brady.

Exactly, from what I've heard here in Richmond after going to a various high school basketball games is that the whole thing was handled very shady from the get go. The signing period happened a while ago and yet it just came out that Baru is going to C of C in the last two days or so officially. Don't you think if you were signing a top 50 kid and a top 10 kid at his position and it was the highest ranked recruit the school had ever signed there be a bit more press at the time of the signing? Whole thing reeks of bad blood.

Yes, you are right. Romeo Miller son of Master P. He was only recruited because he was good friends with current Toronto Raptor Demar DeRozan. MIller got released from the team last year due to an "undisclosed incident". http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB120485166974418241...

Truly amazing that Floyd is still allowed to coach at a Division I school.

Like others on this thread, I forget the involved names, but vaguely recall the incident. Edit: Beasley, perhaps?

Years ago in Pittsburgh, a local AAU coach, business owner and string puller by the name of J.O Stright had a kid who was a decent HS ballplayer but certainly not a D-! prospect. He and Danny Fortson were teammates and buddies at Shaler HS and Duquesne gave his kid Justin a scholarship with the idea Fortson would follow. He didn't. Follow the link to a great article about this kind of stuff in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette about Stright. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06134/690011-175.stm Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 18  of 18 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 219 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 219 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
