Sorry, didn't provide the link, but it's on the home page of G&B. Talks about players hosting recruits and being honest and transparent with what they're going to get at Purdue.
I think it's what most of us already suspected of Painter's program and after 15 years, it's not going to change.
Which leads me to this: Who is the most important person on a recruiting visit: The HC, host player, or 'lead recruiter' (ie.asst coach who's the best salesman)?
It's obviously a combination of all three, but I can't see Coach K sitting down with some 18 year old 5 star recruit and having the charisma and charm to convince him that Duke is it. Granted, I've never sat down with Coach K in a recruiting situation so maybe he's the best salesman in the world, but he certainly doesn't impress anyone when he's in front of the camera.
That said, I will always believe the HC is the most important part of the recruits decision.
