but vague mostly. much supposition and little “fact” he got my IP “hit” for what it’s worth anyway. :)

He may have been planning to bolt but it wasn’t like he was active about it until THE JOB opened up again and he didn’t hesitate to grab it. If anything it shows me that he DOES have the best interests of the kids at heart. I wouldn’t sign an LOI unless I had a clause as well.

It was designed back in the day when “tradition” meant something. Kids these days see themselves as hired guns. Some of them may attend a school for familial or childhood reasons, but most of them, the elite talent anyway, play for themselves and not for some tradition. As a recruit Calipari’s actions would show me that he is as hip to current reality as I am and not gonna sucker you if he decides to vacate the premises

I actually joined that website just so I could reply to Kates’ assumption (which he backed off of ) that something was unscrupulous (sic?) in having the clause put in the LOI to protect the kids if Cal decided to go elsewhere (or was fired for that matter)…I think it’s smart for the kids to have that protection regardless…Kates also stated to my post that Dennis didn’t ask out of his LOI…that the clause was in his LOI as well…true, but he still had to ask out of it as the clause didn’t say firmly that if the coach left I’m not coming..Will Coleman had the same verbiage in his LOI and he stayed…my guess is that this website is based out of Jersey…and they are still miffed at the Nets fiasco…
