nice interview. we all wondered what really went on there with the Jones recruiting.. if you go back to the video of Jones choosing the Washington hat- listen to the groan he lets out. Its evident he was torn.
Only Jones can call BS on this. No one else. And if he corroborates Cal's account, game over for the whiners. Not that it will stop all of them from crying foul and demanding an investigation ...
I should visit The Seattle Times and see what's up with the reaction over there.
Won the battle,that's a crock. You had to hire Payne to get TJ. And don't spread the falsehood that TJ came before Payne...that was the deal. Won, my ass. It was purchased.
[Open in darkened parking structure. A shadowy figure reaches out to Calipari.]
“Psst. Hey Coach. Wanna land Jones?”
“Of course ... who are you?”
“Never mind me, Coach. Here’s what you do. The way I figure it, you can’t hire his high school coach, and you can’t hire his AAU coach. You can’t hire his dad, or a close family friend, or a trusted adviser. The NCAA cracked down on all that, right? They got that covered. You go hire one of those guys, your goose is cooked for sure.”
“Tell me something I don’t know.”
“Okay, so what you do is … [the shadowy figure looks around to make sure they’re alone] … you go hire someone from another team.”
“What do you mean? The coach of a rival high school? I don’t understand.”
“No, no, you’re not gettin’ it. You gotta stay away from the high schools! Listen, you go hire yourself someone from a university, a university Jones isn’t even considering.”
“You’re not making any sense. Who are you again?”
“I’m telling you, this is gonna work. But here’s the thing. You can’t hire this guy before you land Jones. That would be too – what’s the word – coincidental. And you don’t want people sticking their noses where they don’t belong, am I right? So you gotta land Jones first. That’s critical. Then, after a little while, when the news dies down and people start thinking about other things, that’s when you pull the trigger on this university guy.”
“Who again?”
“I dunno, it doesn’t matter, some assistant coach somewhere, someone who might actually be a good addition to your coaching staff.”
“You mean someone I would hire anyway? But if I already have Jones ...”
“That’s the beauty, man! No one will see the connection! You got Jones, you got a new assistant coach, and no one’s the wiser. I’m telling you, Coach, it’s gold. Gold!”
“I have bunch of Maker’s Mark bottles in the trunk. If I sign one and give it to you, will you go away?”
“Hey, I've also taken the time to draw up some plays here that I think you could really use next year.”
Excuse me Kentucky Fans, Conspiracy theories? Try this- Kentucky has gotten the attention of the Department of Justice. Yes Kentucky fans, you are part of a federal inquiry for how scholarships were handled by John Calipari. You know, you just can't keep peeing on student-athletes. Go ahead begin your defense. HA HA HA HA HA HA LMFAO
Marc ,what a cheesy wimp...you dont believe it do you...you guys like attention don't you. The news just hit the press this morning..cant wait to see how this plays out.
That conspiracy theory makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I guess next you will tell me Cal poured the liquor down Strickland's throat, handcuffed him to the steering wheel and forced him to drive until he was caught by the police and charged with drunk driving.... Oh, yea and by the way, you may want to check up on why the NCAA cracked down on hiring practices. I think you will find a familiar name in Rick Pitino attached to that story.

Some people can't let it go.

yeah stuff that in your fat face sticky icky.
Under the Obama administration calling it the Department of Justice is akin to calling a pedophile a child care specialist..
