So it's just a coincidence Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre, Andrew Wiggins, Ben McLemore and Tyshawn Taylor went to Kansas and they're on adidas payroll now?

When you put as many guys in the NBA as Kansas does, yeah, some of them are going to end up going with Adidas.

I don't believe Kansas has bent the rules any more or less than ISU has, so I feel there is a phrase about rocks and glass houses that would likely fit in well here.

Lamont Evans- associate head coach and recruiting coordinator
One of the nation’s most respected recruiters, Lamont Evans was named the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator for the Cowboy basketball program by head coach Mike Boynton for the 2017-18 season.

Evans served as assistant coach/recruiting coordinator for OSU in 2016-17, and was in the same role at South Carolina for the previous four seasons helping to rebuild the Gamecocks program with head coach Frank Martin.

Martin was given the run at K-State for a reason.

Wishful thinking. Good school, excellent coach, top level facilities, packed gym for every game and massive name recognition - Kansas doesn't need to be dirty to recruit at a high level.

But Louisville and Arizona need to cheat?

they have tapes:



What I'm most curious watching is the NCAAs response: are they complicit, or do they take extreme steps to get in front of this.

In other words, do they get info from the US Atty on who is involved and ban them - or do they take the "everything proceeds as normal until the trails are complete" tactic

The 7 on 7 leagues and the burgeoning camp market are the AAU of football.

Agreed that one player doesn't make a team like in bball and there is a lot more development required in football. But, football has and generates more money at the university level and a QB can change a trajectory. Cam Newton and Reggie Bush cost more than these bball players. Ole Miss was paying in the 10 to 20k range.
The 5 star money gets funnelled theough private football factories prior to which is less up front than the aau/shoe deal market.
It is all corrupt at some small level for both sports. The issue for me is when it is exposed that players are essentially auctioned off. I am happy the feds have stepped in.

How has that turned out for those cited teams? They've been blown up. USC is just now becoming relevant again, Ole Miss is nuked at the moment, and Auburn has been, for the most part mediocre. It just doesn't pay most of the time. The payout for Malzahn and Co. hasn't been nearly as large as it has been for Pitino.

The NCAA has done nothing to UNC after they were found to be giving athletes fake classes. Fraud isn't that different from bribery and they did nothing about that, so I don't expect anything from the NCAA about this.
