Jalen Rose eloquently recounted his recruiting visits by telling the world “if I’m not getting laid, I’m not coming.”
Rose’s comment came in a discussion about the current recruiting/stripper/prostitution scandal engulfing the University of Louisville basketball program. Before committing to Michigan, Rose visited Ann Arbor, as well as Michigan State, UNLV and Syracuse.
“What you see at a bachelor or bachelorette party is what happens on a recruiting visit,” he added.
Boston Celtic Jordan Mickey, who attended LSU but visited Louisville in the recruiting process, claimed to not remember what happened during his visit because it was four years ago.
Former Duke Blue Devil Jay Williams called him out on that:
Jordan Mickey: “My recruiting trip was about 4 yrs ago. “Honestly, I don’t remember it.”. #ComeOnMan We all remember our recruiting trips
