Morgan State doesn't have Cal's prestige, TV contracts, weather or pay scale.
And Todd Bozeman has a better chance of winning the lottery than recruiting future NBA lottery picks -- an annual feat for him when he coached Cal in the early '90s -- to the Baltimore-based historically black college that plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
But he's content to have a second chance, albeit as head coach of a midmajor program.
Bozeman viewed recruiting as a "life or death" pursuit when he took over at Cal as a 29-year-old in 1993.
In 1996, he resigned after admitting that he paid the parents of a player $30,000. In 1997, the NCAA banned any school from hiring him without permission for eight years.
