No agendas here (just like we don’t have an anti-Duke or anti-UNC agenda despite what people think). The Beasley case is special obviously because of how shady the arrangement was, but the other 3 are ridiculous especially Lawson. If he is a local guy, doesn’t the fact that he wants to go to UNC (kind of obvious since he did go there) instead of a local power say something about Maryland’s program. If Williams was doing his job correctly he would at least have assistants working the Montrose Christian people.

I guess the relevance depends on your standards. I would consider relevant competing for national titles or at least making it to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tournament, which they have only done once since Dixon left (the very next year). The fact that you are making a claim that saying a NIT bid makes you relevant is even more ridiculous.

I think you may be the one with the agenda.

Kevin Durant’s parents wanted him to go away from school, Michael Beasley went where his AAU coach went (the guy got a $400,000/year job as an assistant at K-State), other guys from the same AAU program went there too as a result, Ty Lawson wanted to go to UNC, Mouphtaou Yarou may go to HS in Maryland but he’s hardly a local kid that grew up in the state. Yeesh.

And relevant since Juan Dixon left? Hmmm, haven’t missed post season play once, hasn’t had a losing season.

Careful, your agenda is showing.
