Syracuse graduate Pete Thamel's little expose in the NYT proved to be fruitless.

Good for Tommy and Kenny Blakeney, too.

Refresh my memory---wasn't there one recruit (big man?) who didn't make it past admissions? or withdrew his application?

Look forward to seeing the Crimson reach the NCAA tournament in a few years.

Good for Amaker, but I feel some in house guidelines were bent by him. I bet in a few years though, as long as he makes progress, those who question the ethics now, will appreciate the money in the future. Recruiting is a tough business, I would hate to do it a school with the guidelines that we have, but what Harvard has you follow would be murder. He can do it clean and within NCAA standards without a doubt, and I'm sure he has. But to get them a real program he has to get them to loosen on some of their own restrictions, and back him with full support. I have more confidence in Amaker's ability to build that program than I do the rest of the administration.
