Lance "begging" Calipari to Offer Him?

(4): Finally, Calipari had a luncheon today at the Craft Center with donors and two people there both told me that he talked about a number of subjects. One of his main points was that he recruits givers and not takers. He said that there is a top 10 recruit “begging” to come to Kentucky but that he was a “taker” and thus wasnt interested in him. We all can guess who that is (Lance Stephenson?) but I do like the attitude expressed. That is a good way to look at top players and I hope Calipari keeps consistent with that theme.

Honestly it says a lot after losing out on xavier henry that Cal wants no part of Lance.  Karma's a b itch lance-y boy.

Marcus Camby takes money from an agent and that is John Calipari's fault..?

Well, do you think they might have noticed $omething while recruiting him? Anyway, Maggette was only at Duke for probably less than a calendar school year-Camby played under Cal for 3. I just think these coaches look the other way. IMO Maggette and Barkley, both Piggie henchmen, both were being investigated for the same reasons-leading them to enter the NBA draft

Yo man, Cal got hisself a mad crzy ego and is sayin stuff he shouldnt be sayin but do anyone expect anytin else from him?

And lets not all be revisioning histry and whatnot. Cal been recruitin bad boys since Tark went into retirement. Aint sayin it bad or good, cause all brothers need a second chance, but he aint goin afta the boys in the choir. No doubt.
