The Front Row

It was not that long ago where UCLA made the final four like 3 or 4 straight years. Maybe 4 years ago or so. Love played there and collison or somebody

I think a few people need to calm down. Did the topic say "Tony Parker accepts Cash to play" or "UCLA CHEATS."

The topic is a question to see what you guys think. And a few people that has posted says they could have.

I think there is a very good chance UCLA is paying players. But I also wouldn't be surprised if OSU basketball recruits were getting cash as well.

Go Buckeyes!!

I also believe that no program is squeaky clean and anyone paying anyone is very realistic but you shouldn't single out a recruit because he didn't choose us.

Well I get that the rose bowl is off campus but from our perspective it's our dream to play there once a year yet they get the chance every home game. To me it's a no brainer.

Maybe if they just got better facilities it would fix it.

I haven't accused him of cheating since he doesn't have to at uk like memphis or unassuming but it is different when you are comparing a coach who has vacated two final fours to UCLA. But I am done with this thread since with the matta comment you have just stated that if anyone does well recruiting than you default to them cheating and you have shown your lack of knowledge by not realizing the UCLA success.

Ben Howland has not had two Final 4s vacated under his watch. A GULF of difference between the two my friend.

Biggest hurdle for Jim Mora jr could very well be the admission standards for athletes at UCLA. It is second only to Stanford in the PAC 12 and top 15 nationally from an entire spread on this a while back in a south Florida newspaper (too lazy to look it up). Which means the net they can cast for recruits is significantly diminished compared to the big dogs they are going up against on the recruiting trail such as $C, Oregon and national powers. And quite often the recruits UCLA has an in with or is targeting are also eligible for Stanford and I'd be full of it if I didn't say that is a tough offer to turn down for an athlete in any sport. Just to be clear, not saying that all the guys on the Trojans and Ducks, etc. roster would be Bruins if it weren't for pesky, egg head admissions people but it makes Mora and staff's recruiting quite tricky. In all though, UCLA/Duke/UNC basketball and Ohio State/USC/Texas football are among the easiest sells in all of intercollegiate athletics IMO.
