JMM28 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Lamont Evans was not at Oklahoma State with Travis Ford. When Ford as at OKSt, Lamont was working at South Carolina and Kansas State with Frank Martin. And I can't believe the Rifleman got caught up. Of course he works with another frequent flier, Bruce Pearl. billikens747 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This seems to be pretty earth shattering to college basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this as 50k and 15k have exchanged hands between Person and someone... The government has always looked the other way with college sports, having the opinion that fighting corruption and stopping the practice of recruits getting paid bribes wasn't worth investigating and prosecuting. Now, it appears that may have changed. Any charges brought will cause coaches and assistant coaches to question whether they want to face prison time to move up in the college sports coaching world. I believe that this could only be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 So this apparently stems a lot from adidas. Adidas apparently paid money to kids to go to adidas schools with the promise that they'd sign with adidas after they turned pro, if I am understanding things correctly.

From my mediocre interpretation, that is what i got as well. The idea that they worked for a public university that received over X amount of federal dollars opened it up.

Adidas is alleged to have paid the coaches as well--they were arrested for receiving bribes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Wait, Louisville was in on this too? That just can't be. Pitino has always run clean programs. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/basketball-2/louisville-at-the-heart-of-new-ncaa-corruption-scandal-of-course-it-is/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwyjibo Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 This scandal has many tentacles (one Nike person arrested as well) and one relates to SLU. Also arrested today is Jonathan Augustine who runs the Central Florida Basketball Academy (league/instruction). Adonys Henriquez is listed as former alumni as are several NBA/NCAA players--not sure who Augustine is alleged to be taking/receiving money for. http://www.cflbasketball.com/alumni/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a tangential link to SLU but Jonathan Augustine was arrested relating to being a bag man for Adidas and getting Brian Bowen to Louisville. I had not looked at Bonwich's link before I posted.

WestCoastBilliken Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Who was the kid that was paid to sign with Louisville last year? Top recruit...looks like he signed with Louisville in May or June last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbj14 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Word on the street (and would come as a complete shock otherwise) is that Pitino is out today. If so, saw an interesting suggestion for Crean as the replacement seeing as he has taken a program back from oblivion before when he took over Indiana.

I understand and the argument that a person shouldn't be blamed for something he didn't directly do even if it was on his watch (i.e the prostitution case) and I think I even mostly agree with this argument because you can't control everyone who plays a part in your program. But if its scandal after scandal of this magnitude, something is wrong there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 5-star big man E.J. Montgomery just decommitted from Auburn. I would expect more dominoes to fall at the four schools implicated, and I honestly think you'd be foolish to stay committed to any of them, especially Louisville. The question these guys now have to answer is: To whom are they accountable? If they accepted shoe company money to commit somewhere, they can't stray too far from the farm.
