This is why it's so important to recruit not only on talent but on character as well.

Just to piggyback on your comment, it is amazing how much Cousins and Wall seemed to love Cal and Kentucky. Both stated they wanted to stay, but couldn't afford to. While that may be lip service, they are (along with Bledsoe) special guests at some of Cal's camps over the summer. None of them had to do that and all three did. (Along with Patterson, IIRC.)
