…is that an oxymoron? Sure seems to be at some points in time.

That said, good to know that “Chenoworthless” has become universally accepted.

As far as the meat of your post…it happens everywhere, although I can’t think of many I would take over Beasley off the top of my head. More a function of our lack of McD’s AA than anything else, but true nonetheless.

Everyone seems to agree that the Wear twins wouldn’t be on the roster if they had committed to a school other than UNC. It does seem like Duke and UNC get the benefit of the doubt a little when they construct these rosters.

I put it to you that KU is a similar program. In general, most of their MDAAs live up to the hype, but if there’s a kid they are iffy on, his commitment to KU might perhaps tip the balance in favor of his being invited when he perhaps might not be invited otherwise.

This is not a dig, simply an observation. In fact, if my theory is correct, it’s a compliment to KU’s coaching staff. The McDonald’s people are deferring to their recruiting judgment.

Whereas, if a KSU kid gets on there, you can pretty much assume he earned it straight up, because Frank and Dalonte haven’t earned that kind of respect yet. Land a few more kids like Mike and Wally, though, and keep winning games like they have been, and that may change in time.

If you truly believe Kerry Meier constitutes “pro-level talent,” then I am embarrassed for you.

Nice college player? Yes.

NFL player? Hell, no.
