Roy on Katz & Greenberg's podcast...

No automatics. If they want to come talk hoops and STAY on topic, fine. Otherwise they gone.

While I agree there should be no automatics, being able to rationally and respectfully discuss topics here appears to be above most of their skill sets.

I never had any issues with Duke fans posting. If they want to discuss something, that's great. I enjoy another POV. If they want to just flame they would go away eventually anyway.

Another situation.

The 5-start kid takes a visit to the school. The school arranges for a a taxi driver to pick up a 5-star player from the airport. When the kid gets in the taxi he notices hundreds of dollars on the floor in the taxi. He keeps the money and consider himself the luckiest person in the world and never tells anyone. Or, he tells the taxi driver about the money and the taxi driver completely ignores him. One of the oldest tricks around.

You realize him being extended 70k in credit isn't a violation? It's only a violation if the credit was given because he plays college ball. So tell me....which of the following do you KNOW it was? 1 He plays for Duke and a donor cosigned with him putting lots of money behind LT but when it came time to collect that cosigner was never mentioned it chased by the jewellery company? 2. Jewellery company said he was going to go pro...makes tons of cash....and then pay it back? 3. Jewelry company has some gain in promoting Duke Basketball? Well which is it? If this were Austin Rivers who drove a car worth more than LTs jewellery nobody would say a thing... 1. Nobody cosigned otherwise they would have been included in the lawsuit. 2. Nobody thought LT was going to come into a lot of pro money...and even IF you claim somebody at the company knew he'd do as well for the Knicks as he has done...the money was due predraft.... 3. If you say the company gained by giving the benefit then they would lose by revealing it... You yourself said NCAA can't force LT or newer to talk. They can and did stipulate that Duke staff not talk to LT during this. So to say K didn't just "reveal everything" as if you assume he had to know would be the same as saying "Roy didn't tell NCAA everyone's classes and grades" because he has to know everything.Why didn't Lance explain where he got the money/backing....why didn't every unc player release there transcripts to the public???? BECAUSE IT DOESNT MATTER AND THEY DONT HAVE TO!!! No matter what Lance said...hell his mom makes 6 figures a year, what if she had put aside a college fund and after he got 4 years of free ride she said it's yours and he just blew it on something dumb...anti Duke fans still would be crying foul. If Hansbrough or Ellington or Lawson or any other major name turned a transcript to public with low grades in non AFAM classes and high grades in iffy classes...doesn't prove Roy knew but your ABC crowd....what will they say? So tell me...who gave LT the backing...or cosigned....or is the newer the best pro scout in the world?

My only concern is a man wasting 70k on jewelry.
