May 22, 200818 yr Just saw on Jim Rome is burning where Robertson said something to this extent: "If Mayo did accept anything it's not hs fault. When you have a kid travelling around playing AAU people are going to try and influence him. Also the "one and done" rule probably contributes something to it considering he knows he will be out of college and not have to worry about it.I'm surprised we don't hear about more kids doing this." Now that's not a direct quote put pretty close summary of what he said. What doesn everyone think?
May 22, 200818 yr The top 5-10 kids in a recruiting class are the ones dealing with agents/runners. Out to about the top 30 it's more about funneling money in to their summer AAU program. After that if any money is involved, it's not much at all. If your favorite school consistently gets the best kids from one of the top AAU programs, there is money involved...

May 22, 200818 yr Money is the root of all evil. Yeah if people present stuff to kids (money, cars, homes for parents) then they will probably accept, I know I would as well as most people on this site would.
May 22, 200818 yr Money is the root of all evil. Yeah if people present stuff to kids (money, cars, homes for parents) then they will probably accept, I know I would as well as most people on this site would. You're painting with an awfully broad brush.
May 22, 200818 yr He hates AAU and the one and done rule. He's not alone w/ that. He hates pretty much everything...

Wasn't it you who had posted that Kevin Durant's AAU team/program received a 6 figure donation from a Texas alum?
May 23, 200818 yr Wasn't it you who had posted that Kevin Durant's AAU team/program received a 6 figure donation from a Texas alum? Yup. It happens much more than the Mayo situation...
May 23, 200818 yr AAU=Shady!!!! Not in every situation, but a lot of illegal stuff goes on at a lot of levels.
May 23, 200818 yr He hates pretty much everything... :ylsuper:The Big O does seem to be a very bitter and an angry sort of guy. Why is that? Does anyone really know? I know he feels slighted in alot of ways and that he may have been blackballed from TV for his view but it seems with time he may have mellowed by now but whenever he speaks you still hear all of this negativity. Too bad because he is still one of the 2 or 3 best players that I ever witnessed playing the game.
