Tim Miles' recruiting trip

Jason King has a wonderful article up all about his tagging along with Nebraska Coach Tim Miles during the various tournaments recently held in Vegas.

The highlight:

"...Miles said it's a turnoff when players look into the stands to see who is recruiting them, or when they bark back and forth with a heckler. He also pays attention to who is on the floor at key moments during games. Miles becomes skeptical when AAU coaches brag about a player one day before leaving him on the bench during crunch time the next.

Then there's the most important factor.

Hairy legs.

"Seriously," says Miles, pointing. "See that kid right there? Look at all the hair on his legs. That means he's probably finished growing. Hairy legs at that age is a bad sign."
