The effect, if any, would be more subtle than someone they are really "in" with right now saying "no thanks". Could be some sophomore or Junior where that realationship isn't even established yet...sitting around with his dad watching this morning saying "man, that dude's bananas!"
Then again it might work both ways. How many times have you heard people say "i'd let my son play for Bobby Knight any day!" I know my dad did. Too bad my dad's son never had the skills!
Oh, so you played basketball at Nebraska then. Cool.
