These guys love Louisville, want to play together, and Louisville is the biggest school recruiting them both at this point. That being said, I believe they will. Whilst the hiring of Lands is interesting and definitely looks like a big move for recruiting, keep in mind a few things: 1) Its not as if Louisville needed an "in" with Teague, I think his dad and uncle playing for Pitino probably did that for him, 2) Lands has been hired for the bottom feeder role. He will be one of those guys making either $30,000 or just full tuition for working 70+ hrs a week for Pitino. In other cases where guys have been hired solely for a recruit, they have been given larger salaries and less responsibilities, 3) Harris' recruitment may end up a one-on-one showdown betwix Pitino and Calipari, which will be very interesting.
