Does this help us at all with any recruits?

 

[goskis2018]

His stock kind of fell since the summer right?

 

[UConnSwag11]

Side note Louisville with Mack might be a major thorn to Kentucky again

 

[upstater]

Are they really going to get away with no sanctions?

This is the most vagabond program in the NCAA.

Total mockery.

No

It probably hurts with Kofi is UK doesn't land Wiseman

Hilarious that we're going to get banged for Ollie shooting a 3 in front of Akinjo and a couple kids working out in Atlanta and these outlaw programs keep right on trucking. Gotta love college sports.

 

[Horatio]

He would’ve been the closest thing we’ve had resembling the great one.

I guess the rules are different for the haves and the have nots.

Nothing will happen to Louisville. They know it. We know it. Mac took the job knowing it. These kids are committing knowing it.

 

[UofCT]

Not only will nothing happen to Louisville, Kansas, or Duke I'm pretty positive they will continue to pay players. Bags will be dropped. Assistant coaches will get blamed. Round and round we go.

 

[tcf15]

this entire tweet sounds expensive

 

[UConn Esq]

Honestly, how does any top recruit, especially a kid from NY, even look at Louisville in 2018?

Meh....it is probably a safe choice for Igiehon at Louisville.

Clearly everyone at Louisville, to include the AD, the coach and the recruits, thinks they are going to escape major NCAA penalties. The tried and tested "its not fair to punish a coach and kids who weren't here for the violations and we've cleaned house now" has worked in the past. For the recruits, even if the NCAA decided to make an example of Louisville, they'll likely offer an escape hatch for all the current student athletes by allowing them to immediately transfer to another school without sitting out a year.

I still think Louisville has to get hit hard. The NCAA may be toothless and corrupt but going easy on major recruiting violation (paying recruits) while on probation for a major recruiting violations (prostitutes for recruits) is going to bring the kind of public scrutiny the NCAA can't handle. Besides Louisville is a convenient scapegoat...the NCAA won't hammer a cash cow, blue blood like UNC but an uppity, come from Conference USA, program like UL is a prime target to make a statement.

There is probably gonna be a second chance to re-recruit all these UL players when they get their free pass. Hopefully a year or 2 from now Igiehon really likes UConn.

There will never be a another. Half of it was personality

I want smarter basketball players. Good for him if he's an honors student, but if he's not smart enough to avoid wearing Ferragamo when he signs with a school known to pay players ....

Hookers and money???

 

[UConn Esq]

Hookers and money???

Well those are my two favorite food groups...

Belt is $478.99 on Bluefly. Hookers would have been cheaper.

 

[businesslawyer]

View attachment 35393 Belt is $478.99 on Bluefly. Hookers would have been cheaper.

LMFAO. Although I do wonder how you know how much hookers cost.

$10-$1000. All depends how fancy you are and whether or not they have to have teeth.

In all seriousness he's probably wearing a fake belt or mom and dad have some serious cash to throw around

 

[Scrutiner]

So this kid has the means to have a jacket custom made just to announce where he'll be matriculating?

Now you know why Chief00 felt Nate Miles got railroaded. These other schools don’t have a Women’s Center working overtime to screw their own program.
