I guess my recruiting skills didn't work
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 11, 2014 Joel Embiid learned that he’s a bad recruiter
The 76ers rookie really wanted to play with LeBron. That isn’t happening.

Joel Embiid gave it the old college try, but now he’s learned that this isn’t college anymore. The 76ers rookie tried his best to convince LeBron James that Philadelphia was the answer, but it didn’t work.
Now the poor kid is just questioning everything.
That's bad though....... how they're gonna hate when you leave and now love you?? These fans ain't loyal except my fans
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 11, 2014 It’s okay, though, because Embiid is still a better recruiter than a certain college coach known for his recruiting prowess.
At least the SIXERS finished second in the pursuit of the dude.... still have better recruiting skills than kentuckys coach #EMB11D
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 11, 2014 But then Embiid got more bad news ... it looks like Cleveland could trade his college teammate, Andrew Wiggins, to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love. Even if Embiid can’t play with LeBron, he still wants his friend to have that honor.
Please dont trade my boy @ cav Sincerely, JOEL EMBIID
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 11, 2014 But enough about all these other teams. No matter what happens, Embiid knows the Sixers are on their way to a championship ... right after the Spurs win another one.
It really doesnt matter...... Spurs is winning then Sixers the following year
