John Calipari is a difficult man to beat these days on the college basketball recruiting trail. If the Kentucky coach seems to be able to land any prospect he wants, well, there’s a reason for that. He usually does.
Which is maybe why North Carolina coach Roy Williams traveled to Texas with a bunch of jewelry.
According to USA Today, Calipari on Tuesday traveled to Plano, Texas to visit Julius Randle, a 6-foot-9 forward who some recruiting analysts believe is the best prospect in the class of 2013. During the visit, the newspaper reported, Calipari showed off the ring he won when Kentucky won the national championship back in April.
And yes, Randle was impressed, USA Today reported.
Not to be outdone, though, Williams packed 30 rings when he visited with Randle. There were the national championship rings, presumably, that he and the Tar Heels won in 2005 and 2009, and various rings from Final Fours and conference championships over the years.
About all the jewelry, Randle told USA Today this:
“When coach Williams opened the case you almost couldn't look directly in it for fear of going blind. It was crazy.”
Carolyn Kyles, Randle’s mother, was also apparently impressed by Williams’ hardware.
She told USA Today, “Yeah, coach Williams was ready for coach Cal with those rings. He got him there.”
But will Williams get Randle? Stay tuned …

Randle is going to NCSU.
Mark it down.
UNC-CHeat is a complete joke! BAHAHAHAHAHA!
And once again, the NC State "Wolpies" care more about UNC losing than NC State winning. How quickly they forget why Everett Case and Jim Valvano lost their jobs. You'd think they remember, seeing as they still believe that they are relevant in any sport.
Get em Roy! Would love to see Randle play for the heels. Dude can ball.
Yeah but can he read? Oh forgot, that doesn't matter at Chapel Hill.
I sure hope these aren't state fans getting high and mighty when discussing players academic aptitudes! If so, your memories are severely short!
Roy probably borrowed the bling from Lance Thomas.
NC Stink fans must have short memories? How did you land the illiterate Shackleford back in the 80's? Your school couldn't even keep a NFL starting QB on campus for his senior year. Instead of wondering why Chapel Hill is so successful wonder why Raliegh stinks so bad.
The stink is coming from chapel hill with all the Sh*t going on over there
NC State will be 3rd in the ACC this year...behind UNC and dook...it's the norm, regardless of who is on the team. Bawhahahaha...
Roy, don't forget to show him the bag with all of the diplomas ready to be customized for his bachelor of arts or science so his momma can brag that he got a college degree. The kicker is, he just has to be present for 3 years to get it.
Anonymous 11:48,
You should probably get your facts straight before you start posting things. That NFL starting QB you are talking about was not a senior in college but infact was an alumnus. And Chapel Hill seems to only be recently succesful due to the lack educational standards that are set for your athletics. Heck if I knew I could graduate college for free and never have to actually attend a class, I too would have gone to UNC.
Ironic, that Roy wants to emulate the often questionable Calipari in his recruiting techniques. He has gotten every school he has been at in trouble. Roy, this season probably won't end well for you with all of the off-court corruption that my sources tell me are coming out of the closet.
I was born to a family with both UNC and NC State ties. My father a UNC grad and numerous family members on my Mom's side that were grads of NCSU. I thank my lucky stars every day my father influenced my backing of UNC. State fans are miserable people. The only care they have in the world is hating UNC. Do they realize they're nothing more than an afterthought in the minds of Tarheel fans? State basketball is nothing more than paper champs leading into this season. They'll finish no better than 3rd becuase it's always the same story for State. Great expectations which lead to great disappointment. Get a real grip Wolfies. You'll always be our whipping boys.
No academic requirements, promises of jewlery and maybe a date with Ms. Hansbrough. What more could a recruit ask for?
"Always be our whipping boys." How does your football team feel? Didn't NC State bball lose to the same bball team UNC did in the NCAAs? Talk about short term memories.
Who cares about UNC football? I'm a Bama football fan, Tarheel basketball fan.
UNC OWNS ncsu 147-75 total win record. UNC is on a 13 win streak, and that win continue this year as expected. Ol' Roy (with his bling) is 23-1 vs ncsu. The best coach ncsu ever had was Jimmy V and he was 6-18. nc state fans are a complete joke, but good at fishin'. Just sayin'
It sounds like Mike Curry is just another run of the mill bandwagon fan. And people wonder why there are abc'ers out there.
nice post and i must say Julius Randle is a great player. I loved reading this post.
Lovelinks
Wow. When I read the headline I thought Roy was GIVING the kid jewelry. What a sad commentary on big time college athletics that that would even cross my mind.
Of course, whatever Roy gives him will be OK with the NCAA, I'm sure. Can you say "hypocrites" , boys and girls?
UNC-Cheat still has an athletic program? Good to know....Lol
Julius will go to UNC. Certainly not NC State where there are never any expectations. Plus, this kid from what I hear doesn't like to fish, hunt, or work as a volunteer for the local fire dept. Bawhahahahah!!!
Nah, all he likes to do is post stupid comments on internet blogs which as we all know is way more productive than fishing, hunting, or volunteering! Bruce is the king of troolville.
I agree Randle wants to play with Purvis, Warren & Lewis...They are Tight...NC State's Mark Gottfried got is hooking Randle on realationships not Rings!plus he told him that you don't want to be in Jordan's shadow.
Mark Gooffried has NO rings! He won't win any NCAA titles at nc state either. Will finish 3rd in the ACC this year behind UNC and dook as always. nc state is use to it by now...especially dropping 13 in a row to UNC. Let's face it...UNC is the Flagship school of North Carolina-The Tar Heel state. Only speaking the truth! Just sayin'
So says a guy named Bruce. Hey Bruce...and OH MY God....a guy that likes to fish and hunt. OH NO!
Gay train called. They need you to hop on.
Bruce, if being the oldest and adopting the state nickname makes Chapel Hill the flagship, then so be it.
Need I remind you that no one presently there was alive when the school was founded and that some there recently are the scum of the earth. Kind of makes you proud to be a Hole fan, doesn't it? Do you root for Alabama football like Mike Curry does? In fact, are you Mike Curry? You Walmart Holes are all so much alike its very hard to tell you apart
BTW, most real Carolina grads I know aren't quite so busting-at-the-seams proud of the garbage flowing from the flagship right now
Bruce - by your logic of consecutive defeats then your football team would also disqualify you from being "the flagship."
How does that WAKE defeat work with regards to "the flagship?"
Oh, I forgot....don't let FACTS get in the way of the superiority complex.
Carolina grad > not equal to Bruce. Bruce is just the catfish waiting to be big fish like all the other bottom feeders.
Don't get mad state fans because I'm right! UNC owns both state and dook in basketball. Let's look at the facts:UNC leads state 147-75 all time. Last result 86-74 (UNC wins 13th in a row). Duke fans: UNC leads all time series 132-102. Last result 88-70 (UNC wins again). Enough said. Shut your pie holes, and watch the Heels win the WIN ACC! Bawhahahaha!!!
@ Anon 3:36pm...Why you made Bro? Bawhahahahahaha!!!
THERE IS A STUNNING COLLECTION OF SILVER AVAILABLE AT HTTP://WWW.SILVER.GB.COM
Don't be mad (uh, I mean MADE) at Bruce. He is a 15 year old punk kid that lives in the basement of his mommy's house, in a room that she painted baby blue for him and decorated with Wal-mart tarheel gear. He has dreams of finding classified ads filled with employers advertising positions for someone with an AFAM studies degree, although being from North Carolina, he doesn't have a shot at getting into unc in the first place!
UNC has an academic program?
If you really wanna impress somebody, use grillz. Trust me.
Does Roy have that 2004 Olympic Bronze medal he wants to show off?
haha poor Roy Williams, he hast to use Julius Randle by using jewelry because he does not have what it takes to convince by his own words to join UNC
