Yeah, I read about that kid on Deadspin (I think) a couple days ago. His handler seems to be a real piece of work whose only motivation is to profit on him. Kind of the sort of thing where you feel bad for the kid, as he's essentially some greedy dude's pawn and there is a great change he'll be mismanaged into obscurity because of that.Azubuike24;1673775 wrote:An FYI, my posts in the NBA thread made me want to bring up the fact that there's a decent chance that UK gets the #1 center in the 2015 class tomorrow, Skal Labiessiere. Definitely could be some concerns about his eligibility and recruitment, as it has been bizarre to say the least. Not that UK had anything to do with it (it's more his handlers and family members), but anyone who tries to enroll him and let him participate wearing their uniform, is taking a risk. Even if it's like Rose, where the NCAA rules him eligible, they could come back later and say something happened that the school should've known about, and in-turn, punish the school.

It's the first recruit Calipari has signed that comes with this baggage. He better know something nobody else does.
