This one is worse.
Arenas came out of high school as a confident player, but he was knocked down a peg when only a handful of major colleges recruited him. UCLA told him it had only one open spot and wanted to save it for Carlos Boozer, who wound up going to Duke. On a tip, he came to the attention of an Arizona assistant, Rodney Tention. After visiting the campus, Arenas told his dad, “I loved Arizona. I had a good time. I want to get there.” His father leaned toward Kansas State, where a friend was an assistant coach and promised Arenas at least 1,000 minutes of playing time, but his son prevailed.
