Early Monday, [URL='http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/former-memphis-standouts-dedric-and-k-j-lawson-are-transferring-to-kansas/']they committed to Kansas[/URL] . [B]And when I asked Keelon Lawson on Monday if Dedric and K.J. would still be Tigers if he were still a full-time assistant, he answered, "Yes. Of course." [/B]In other words, Smith's decision to demote Keelon Lawson cost Memphis two players Kansas can't wait to use to win another Big 12 title. And do you know how many top-100 recruits Smith's three full-time assistants have committed? Zero. Not one. But they are scheduled to soon host a prospect who is currently committed to a Division II school. And I'm not even making that up. [/I] Isn't this tantamount to a "professional" payoff for what is supposed to be an amateur program. " [B]We will agree to perform as scholarship athletes if you payoff my father with a professional conract[/B]" How is this not a blatant violation; especially when vocalizing like this? [/QUOTE]
