That's one of the worst pieces of sports journalism I have ever read, both in terms of content and execution.

I must admit that Curtis did a nice job of pissing me off, assuming that was his intent.

I enjoyed the part where he implied value in Gipson getting "Chris Lowery'ed".

I have to really give oscar credit for selling the heck out of exactly why his recruiting failed (but then succeeded?) at Illinois.  A lot of people are buying it without understanding/comprehending the inherent contradiction in his pitch.

Yep, I love this part

he’s already stated that he learned from his mistakes at Illinois, where he got caught up in recruiting based on boosters’ and fans’ opinions and demands rather than focusing on the types of kids suited for his coaching style and system.

I mean, it wasn't just boosters and fans opinions that those 4 and 5 stars could play but also the Izzo's, Donovan's and Crean's of the world too.

And, maybe sticking to that “guys who fit” idea will lead to guys like Wichita State’s Ron Baker, the Scott City, KS, kid who wowed the nation this past weekend, helped the Shockers make the Sweet 16… and couldn’t get a sniff from the former K-State staff.

who the eff starts a sentence with "And-comma." can we move this thread to the birther pit? 

And, have you looked at his old blog?  dark text on a dark background in a goddamn blogger template.  and, his new blog is just as awful looking - what a douche.

And, he tries to pass himself off as a legitimate sports writer with 'credentials' but his composition and grammar pissed me off so much that I couldn't focus on the content after the first sentence-paragraph.  did he say anything interesting?

And, maybe if he's going to have a career dedicated to publishing articles he writes, he should at the very least try not to be terrible at writing and publishing.  there's a reason he's been writing for over a decade and no one will give him a real job. it's not as if he's Cormac rough ridin' McCarthy, toiling away in obscurity before winning a MacArthur genius grant. 

edit: typo.

to be fair, you did take that out of context.  there are many other examples of bad writing to pick on.

Kitchen also lost me at the end with this:
Quote
Some of the game-by-game reactionary judgment this season — based on god-knows-what credentials because you haven’t seen good basketball in your uniforms in over 20 years — left me incredulous at times, all the way to the end, and while the season ended prematurely for my money, I’m just sort of glad it’s over.

i've never understood the idea that since your particular college may have sucked for the past 20 years, you don't know what good basketball is.  i could argue the opposite is true, that having dealt with what we've dealt with, we better understand what good basketball is.  but then i remember what i read on this board, and i guess maybe kitchen is right.

I enjoyed the part where he said one of the reasons "K-Staters" are mad at oscar is because he's supposedly looking at other programs.

This tool maybe singlehandedly got Trim to renew his season tickets just so he can real life PI him at every game next year.

the Only Thing He Got Right was Martin Missing On Ron Baker.

I like how Baker is now awesome for "wowing the nation" but Weber does not suck for shitting his pants on the same stage. There's just so much thickheaded stupid in that article.
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."
