USA Today seems to be focusing on the Randle recruitment. Here is the start of an article on Randle's in homes:

"MCKINNEY, Texas – Kentucky coach John Calipari brought the "wow" factor on the first day of Prestonwood Christian (Plano, Texas) forward Julius Randle's in-home visits, whipping out his 2012 national championship ring.

Well, after our report of Randle and his mother Carolyn Kyles being wildly impressed with Calipari's bling, North Carolina coach Roy Williams came prepared to one-up Calipari.

"More like 31-up," Randle said."

Here is the link to the rest of it:

Good blurb. Will be following this now to see how the different schools compare. I'm no fan of Cal, but Ol Roy is probably my least favorite coach out there, tied with Stallings and Gottfried. Cal, Coach K and Calhoun would be in the next tier.

Anyway, back on subject, I'm not sure why a kid would be so impressed with a ring from Jordan. I don't know. It's not like he actually gave him the ring (not until he signs the LOI anyway).

Even though Cal's is newer, Billy has twice as many rings :)

If jewelry is what this kid is looking for, he's Duke's to lose.

That might depend on whether it is someone else's jewelry or jewelry he might get at a program.
