Matthew Kredell broke into the Daily News in 1998, working part time
at the paper while going to USC. The basketball team’s Elite Eight
run in 2000-01 was USC’s athletic highlight in his time at the
school, when the football team was stuck in the Paul Hackett-era.
After graduating in 2001, he started writing for the Daily News full
time. He’s in his second year covering USC, which coincides with the
rise of the program. He’ll take credit for the success, though Tim
Floyd may have more to do with it. A third-generation Los Angelean,
he grew up reading the Daily News while at El Camino Real High School
in Woodland Hills.

I find it very silly to be so worried about recruiting methods, recruiting class rankings, etc.
Half these guys never make it school, leave early for the NBA draft, and end up in the a remote location playing in the development league wondering what could have been.
College Basketball has become a joke. Most of these kids should go for the draft right out of high school because they are not interested in going to college for the purpose of education.
Your worried about text messaging. I am worried about the state of amateur athletics, and agents ruining kids futures.
