If AAU is what caused him to retire that means they did one good deed.Going to get deeper, and wider, in scope. In a year it wouldn't surprise me if the kids are playing in Sketchers. Anyone who thinks that Nike and Under Armor, are not just as guilty aren't living in the current basketball world. This stuff is exactly what drove Gary Williams to retire at Maryland. He refused to deal with the AAU folks and the program started to slip.
Kansas supposedly has pulled away from Indiana. But, that could be wrong or change.Whoops. My bad. Wouldn't surprise me if it was Kansas but I've heard Indiana is strong too.

It was worth it for him not coming to us. Hell, I would have chipped in.I wanna know what Dennis Smith got paid to go to NC state.
You guys don't live with it on a regular basis, but suffice to say bama is the Secretariat of "getting out in front" of impending trouble and claiming to have solved the issue internally. That has often worked with the NCAA --- lessee if the FBI is so forgiving. Tom Emmert isn't running the Bureau.I can't help but laugh at that statement. If there were no violations why would he resign and what were the other coaches not involved with?
No need. Gott got him plenty.It was worth it for him not coming to us. Hell, I would have chipped in.
Romeo best steer clear of that cauldron right about now.Not so sure about Kansas and Langford seems adidas can't get away from the phog fast enough
What makes you think that? His father has already proven that he has no problem pimping his kids out.
It's illegal for family members to get money. What makes you think he wouldn't sell his kids to the highest bidder? He made it clear it's all about the money for him.You just answered your question. Its not illegal to get money from your dad, its illegal to get money from agents and shoe companies, both of which Lavar told to f off
I think they should meet up and have a cage match. Loser leaves the board for 60 days.If anyone has any objections as to why Carolina34 and Gary shouldn't be married speak now or forever hold your peace
Given everything we know so far, pretty much anything is possible.What do you guys think about Washington? I never thought they were a high powered basketball school, but lately they have gotten a lot of high level recruits. And didn't Julius Randle commit to them prior to being "lured" away to UK for the honor of playing for Calipari? Maybe I'm wrong about that

This is just a random guy on Twitter, no?
This is getting out of hand quickly; I saw yesterday where a wolfpack fan was saying that UNC carried a big stick, because we got the feds to investigate everyone, so the NCAA could quietly drop our case.This is just a random guy on Twitter, no?
False. Nike got the feds involved to protect us. UNC is paying all of our 5 star OAD players to stay in school instead of getting drafted in the first round like they are projected to do. Get it right!This is getting out of hand quickly; I saw yesterday where a wolfpack fan was saying that UNC carried a big stick, because we got the feds to investigate everyone, so the NCAA could quietly drop our case.
So the bama allegations involve ex ncaa compliance officers. Man oh man. We’re one step away from the ncaa getting pulled into this. I was wondering how the ncaa didnt have a clue in all this. Maybe its cause their employees are involved.
Okay so this is the timeline and process as i’m thinking. Feel free to weigh in and correct where i’m wrong
The aau circuit takes off big time about a decade ago
Aau teams are financed by shoe companies
Elite recruits sign up for aau teams. Why they choose one or the other? Good question
“Handlers” associated with these teams start being used on a widespread basis by elite recruits about the same time. The assumption is these handlers are paid by the shoe companies to steer recruits to certain schools, agents, and financial advisors.
Coach williams refuses to go the handler route
Ky, dook, ariz, louisville, nc state go all in. Ky especially with ww
Ky, dook, ariz, louisville and even nc state out recruit unc the last decade.
Now we know some of these recruits at ariz and louisville got cash from the shoe companies to go there.
Well it goes much further back than a decade, it was pretty much wide open in the 90s, what we have seen is the exponential growth of sports agent involvement, which honestly is worse than the shoe company involvement. But what has changed over the last decade is that the 2 seem to have united together rather than be separate but with common goals. The shoe companies are the public face of this (example Nike with EYBL or the Addias circut) but the sports agents are the more silent partners and their roots can trace back to some VERY interesting involvements, you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...
But this is what Dean was referring to when he shared how recruiting had changed and that he just couldn't do it any more, the pressure to do what everyone else is doing or fall behind was on him and Dean just refused to vacate his values.
The AAU system got to the point that they were beginning to funnel kids directly to the NBA and by pass college, quickly the NBA saw they didn't want to sign them so young with so little to compare them to and having no established developmental league installed the 1&D rule that forced these agents and shoe company folk to once again deal with college coaches. For WWW and his buddy Calipari it was a marriage made win win, other coaches were left behind as Calipari got 5star after 5star handed to him. It was either do what he does or get left behind, K jumped in, others like Kansas and Arizona to a lesser extent. Over the last few years we have seen programs come from no where to sign big time classes, look at Miss st this last cycle. So others hopped that band wagon, it was green flag racin until tuesday when a red flag went up and all cars were called to the pitts for inspection...
I am telling you right now, duke and Ky will get hit in this, the NCAA will cover them as much as it can but the FBI don't care who the program is or who their coach is, way to many 5 stars to come out of this without a scratch.
No need. Gott got him plenty.
Easy killer our head fb coach does the same thingAnd Gott flew in on a helicopter to seal the deal.
True... but hopefully not with a bag full o' $ (figuratively, of course).Easy killer our head fb coach does the same thing
