I'm not going to try and convince you of anything else, Nate, it's obvious you don't want to believe that Beasley's relationship with Dalonte Hill was tight enough to be the deciding factor in where Beasley attended school, and it's also obvious that regardless of how hard Beasley actually works in and out of practice, you will regard him as someone who "never wants to work as hard."

I'd just encourage you to lose the attitude that is so apparent in your posts that when a player chooses to attend a school other than UNC or Duke or KU or UCLA that it must be because that player wasn't actually recruited by those schools, rather than that player simply deciding he wanted to go somewhere else instead - for whatever reason.

Recruiting is a strange deal. Sometimes the best players don't want to attend a traditional power school. "Aw shucks" Roy isn't the right coach for everyone. Every once in a while, a school you wouldn't suspect makes the right connection with a super-talented kid and UNC loses out on a recruit they wanted.
