Anyone familiar with this recruiting guru clown ?He writes for prepstars that puts out a recruiting handbook. He refuses to believe that most of not all white players are inferior to blacks in areas of speed, quickness and of course leaping ability. He routinely praises black prospects in the most glowing terms using colorful adjectives such as skyscraping, superb run/jump athlete, mind boggling speed etc etc. Terms he uses for white prospects- how about average athlete, slow, average quicks, no leaping ability,decent but not great athlete--basically the most praise he uses, can be out quicked by better(ie black players) athletes and on and on. On Gary Mcnamara--others may be quicker and/or stronger--and that is when he is in complimnetory mode.
Jack McCallum is SI's head pro BB writer and after countless years I still have not seen him refer to a white player as quick or springy. Closest he came is with Ginobli who he called a rodent or something.. Meanwhile he is over exuberant when describing black athletes quickness and leaping ability. This guy has been at it for so long I cannot believe it. Very smug about it too. Whenever Larry Bird's name comes up he has to interject that he wasn't a great athlete. His opinion not mine .Anyone else have thoughts on these influentialtwo writers who seem intent on stereotyping athletes?
