Everyone knows that 2012 center DaJuan Coleman is at the top of Coach John Calipari’s wish list, and there is a good chance it will come down to Kentucky and Syracuse in the end.
Syracuse fans were hoping the return of Brandon Triche for his senior season would improve the chance of Coleman wearing orange his freshman season, but Triche isn’t much on being a recruiter.

McKenny(Coleman’s coach) also told [B]The Fizz[/B] that Triche would be a key SU’s courting of the big man.
[INDENT][B][I]“Brandon [Triche] staying for his senior year is key to DaJuan coming to Syracuse. He played with him, likes to play with him and really respects him on and off the court.”[/I][/B]
[/INDENT]Sounds like great news for the Orange, but Triche may have rained on the parade with his recent comments to the Post-Standard:
[INDENT][I][B]“That’s not my job, to speak to him about what school he’s supposed to go to. It’s his family and the college that’s trying to persuade him. So I pretty much talk about regular basketball stuff, regular life stuff. With guys who are just heavy basketball, basketball, basketball, they don’t want to talk about basketball all the time. So once we play, it’s ‘All right, game’s over, whatcha gonna do after?’ He’s got enough pressure[/B].”[/I]
[/INDENT]So Triche is the strongest potential influence in convincing Coleman to stay at home, but he doesn’t want to politic to bring DC 2.0 to the Hill because it’s “not his job.” This obviously [URL=”http://orangefizz.net/2011/07/fizz-feedback-hunting-dc-2-0-scoops-growth-football-in-state-recruiting/”]has some Orange fans upset[/URL], but should they expect Brandon to take on more of a role in Dajuan’s recruitment?

I would like to think that if Coach Cal wanted any one of his players to help out in the recruitment of a player they would take the initiative and put in a good word.
Of course, I really don’t think Cal needs too much help anyway…
