People on the Pitt board think it is a joke if Hyatt ever committed to RU. Many said there is no way he would ever commit to RU. They also think that Capel is one of the greatest recruiters ever.
Aundre Hyatt taking an official visit, still weighing 18 vs 19
- Thread starter kcg88
- Start date
Capel is one helluva recruiter
Pitt has a lot more going for it for a city kid than PSU does.
They have good facilities and can offer quick playing time.
They are just really at the bottom and starting over hoops wise and that's a tough league to make up ground in.
It's a massive rebuild.

I was a basketball player I'd pick Pitt over Penn State. That's a no brainer.
Plus the whole raping children cover up, denial and people shooting video of other people in bathrooms would turn me off of Penn State and hope that the school burns to the ground (without any loss of life or injury of course).
Capel might be one outstanding recruiter but he kind of ruined things at Oklahoma and got fired there. I believe there was some problem with the NCAA as well. I would be a little careful if I was a recruit considering going to play for him.
Pitt absolutely sucked last year. Rutgers is in better shape, which is a pleasant change from the usual.
C’mon Aundre! Choose the Scarlet Knights!

That's about 8 years ago when guys being recruited now were 9 or 10 years old. Even if they research it I doubt anyone cares about what happened in 2010.
It was assistant Coach Oronde Taliaferro who arranged for impermissible benefits for Tiny Gallon; Capel was not implicated in the violations.
I only posted that tweet because apparently I follow the kid on Instagram and saw the story before anyone else:
The old assistant coach going rogue theory. That happens a lot. Chapel had no idea. Riiiight.
Except in this case after the investigation was concluded there was an acknowledgement that phone records linked Coach Taliaferro to a Florida financial adviser who paid for Tiny Gallon $3,000. There were also emails between the coach and the financial advisor. Capel was not
implicated in the violations.
This assistant was also trying to hook agents up with former OU basketball players and players on the roster who had NBA talent, as well as football player Antonio Gates.
So, lots was going on with that dude.
Are you really comparing child rape and coverup to some basketball program violations?
well the cloth is Red and White , not sure what the chicken ties to lol...:popcorn:
That's either good news for Rutgers or further confirms how good of a spot LSU is in. Will be interesting to see the outcome.
Russ, when Flood got caught intervening on grades for a player personally, my friend from Ohio said: doesn't he have people to do that for him? What kind of an operation are you running over there?
When
When
When that happened I thought it was odd too. At other programs assistant coaches, and support people (which football usually has tons of) usually take on that kind of thing so as to insulate the head coach when the investigation happens.
Look, do I know for a fact that Capel 100 percent did not know what Coach Taliaferro was doing? Nope.
Does anyone in this thread know for a fact that Capel 100 percent did know Coach Taliaferro was doing? Nope.
If people want to play the innuendo game that's fine. I'm just sticking to the facts. The facts are that there was an investigation, both by the school and the NCAA and Coach Capel was not implicated in what Coach Taliaferro did.
Not to mention that OU was on probation at the time for things Kelvin Sampson did before bouncing to Indiana. So it stands to reason that if the head basketball coach at OU had broken rules, or there was evidence/proof that he knew one of his assistants was breaking rules, things would have been much worse in Norman (with a repeat offender status). Plus, I don't think Coach K would have welcomed Capel back at Duke if he had been implicated.
Maybe it just burns some RU fans that head coaches at other schools sometimes aren't implicated in rule breaking when head coaches at RU not only were implicated but actually get caught breaking rules, or have their bad behavior caught on video and played on network morning shows, ESPN, local TV, etc. If that's what leads to snarky posts by some people about coaches, okay, I get it.
A decommit at ECCC the same afternoon Hyatt announces his final 3 with LSU, RU, and ECCC...oh boy.
That’s not it all. If you think the head coach doesn’t know EVERYTHING going on with his program at ALL times when it comes to things his assistants are doing then I am not sure what to tell you. They know.
Prove it.
Prove that every head coach knows EVERYTHING going on with his program at ALL times when it comes to things his assistants are doing.
if Hyatt were to commit to us, hopefully, would he play this year, provided he isn't injured? where would be project--I realize we have a lot of new players at the wing so may be hard at this point?
See, I get what you're saying... but the "prove it" mindset is exactly why steps are taken to ensure plausible deniability. It's in the same vein as "it ain't a crime if you don't get caught".
Will a HC *always* know what's going on? Unlikely - especially if it's a one time thing, or a special situation.
Will a HC *likely* know what's going on? Yeah - especially if it's a repeated occurrence or a pattern of behavior.
A "clean HC" with "dirty assistants" may at times be similar to a mob boss - he may damn well be aware of what's going on, but he's taken measures to ensure that none of it can be tied back to him.
If a HC doesn't know what's going on with his assistants (especially if it's a pattern of behavior), there's a good chance it's due to plain incompetence (no control over or awareness of the actions of his direct subordinates).
Dah no. If youse been reading this thread & his tweets you'd be knowin he reclassified to '18 so he could sit out next season, rehab & get ready for next year. Readin comprehension can be cured by a good pharmacist. :popcorn:
