whichever bright it is maybe not so bright it was definitely during Norm's tenure because I remember someone who had inside info on the site back then mentioning we were secretly recruiting him and the board went nuts except for me and a couple of others. But bright was definitely his last name. I want to say the kid lived in Carolina or kansas originally or something like that. I don't think he was a high school recruit or maybe he was it was so long ago. I think maybe either juco or transfer from another school but so long ago I forget exactly. How far back do our archives go ?Not Donta Bright. He played for Cal at Umass 20 years ago, before Norm's time.
true. he definitely didnt just recruit angels though. Just for the record I had 0 problem with recruiting any of these kids who had problems no matter who the coach was.I don't have any problem whatsoever with a coach taking a chance on a kid with some past issues, provided the the nucleus of the team the kid joins are solid kids. Which is why I have no problem with us taking a chance on Brown. Say what you want about Norm's coaching acumen(or lack of), but the nucleus of his squads were solid kids.
Heck Norm at 1 point Norm was recruiting some kid that had a gun charge or something like that and I was one of the only ones defending Norm. I think his name was Roy Bright or something like that. I remember arguing with people on this site about it. My position is if we suck then I'll take whoever we can get

Great programs usually pass on guys that have had serious trouble. Teams like Georgetown banished Michael Graham even after winning a championship with him. While we advocate second chances for guys that have had criminal pasts, would you want your daughter on the same dorm floor with a kid accused of sexual assault? What would you tell your son about watching his belongings if there was a kid on his floor with pending criminal charges for theft?
Because someone stays out of trouble on campus doesn't even mean he is still not trouble (see Jordan). I'd rather pass on these guys.
On the other side of the coin, Zach Brown tweeted what appeared to be a very remorseful message that is appreciative for a second chance. I hope he works out.

That is why Kentucky built luxury dorms for athletes and why Louisville soothes their sexual appetite with hookers.

Allen Iverson?
If he is smart he will get into freddie's crew at Rikers. Just watch out for Nas because I'm not so sure he is innocentHe looks like he ate Khalid El-Amin. Hopefully still athletic enough to outrun the shower posse.
But he doesn't know why his friend would allow himself to get shot 6 times and then blame him when he didn't even do it. :huh: A shooting guard gets 15 years for shooting. Go figure. :dry:So he comes within a hair of ending the life of his one time friend, and he'll likely be out on the street before his 35th bday. Hard for me to feel an ounce of sympathy for this miscreant.
