hey Mr. Magoo, if you can't see some connection between 25 grand being sent to a AAU team and signing a player from the same team, your blind. Just like I dont know for sure if this is why he got him, its evidence regardless. You have no evidence for saying Calhoun is clean.

He has been giving this AAU team 25 grand every season. He did not specifiacally go out and give the team 25 grand and all of a sudden Gay committed to Uconn. Uconn has gotten plenty of big recruits like Will Bynum for next years class and Villanueva last year. That shows that Uconn has used their good team reputation to get top recruits. They don't just go out and give every aau team 25 grand so they can get a top player.

Hey guys, I've 3 points here:

1) UConn has 2 National Championships, tons of media exposure, sucessful players in the NBA, and Calhoun is a Half of Fame coach - the can recruit ANYBODY! Calhoun was playing within the rules (as was Gary Williams) when they payed and played AAU teams. Now, the rules have been changed for the better. I prefer the exhibitions against DII and II teams, but lets not say UConn or Calhoun is a dirty program becasuse of past exhibition games.

2) Yes UConn has had some program and player violations over the years that are not made into a big deal by the NCAA. While smaller programs like Central are punished for sharing scholarsip money on text books for teammates. The problem is the NCAA is corrupt more then even the worse programs (Cincy, UNLV, etc.).

3) UMass is horrible and in retrospect that was probably one of the worse UConn loses under Calhoun. Inbetween their win over UConn, UMass was blown out my Northeastern and Miami. Unless the A-10 is very bad this year, I'm not sure the Minutemen even make the NIT. IMO Lappas does not return next year. UMass responded to their win with a ugly effort and a L, and so I think that if that Ugame was played in Hartford or Storrs UMass loses by 20. I think that just shows how big a home court advantage can be.
