Precious visiting WKU

[KingAG]

the FBI isn't investigating normal boosters giving money to the players. They're going after the guys connected with the shoe companies

For now...

For now...

Eh, idk. Bc boosters giving money to BBall players will snitch on boosters giving money to football players if they aren’t the same person. They don’t want any smoke coming from football

If it's not Achiuwa who takes UConn's 5th scholarship, Hurley and staff will lock down another excellent player. Staff has been pretty focused on targeting Precious and he has consistently been a strong UConn lean, but if Hurley feels the situation is changing we'll begin to hear about some other players that UConn is interested in. We're on the rise man, there are players who will want to be part of it.

You dont think the NCAA cracks way down on any pay for play after this FBI circus? I think Emmert will be looking for examples, and he'd have no problem destroying Western Kentucky

Every school pays, some are better than it than others. These are the facts.

I believe Precious is good friends with Charles Bassey, 5 Star Center who is now a freshman at WKU. They are both from Nigeria and I believe their close relationship may have helped WKU get him on campus.

Oh so you mean it may not be dirty? What an idea

 

[Huskyforlife]

Oh so you mean it may not be dirty? What an idea

So you gonna ignore the obvious cheating to get Bassey?

It's Stansbury. It's WKU. It's dirty.

 

[Edward Sargent]

These announcers are really pulling for LA and Rick Honeycutt needs a South Beach diet

 

[uconnbill]

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap, not with Stansbury or his bag man.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

To assume precious is Fishy seems like to big a leap for me personally at this point

But to eaches own

Everything of value in this thread.

 

[Burnsbros23]

I said I felt his Recruitment might get chaotic. Don’t be naive about western Kentucky. We know what’s going on there.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Tremont Waters also flirted with WKU before ending up at L$U

 

[Lthusker456]

But hes a heavy Uconn lead no? lol

 

[Chief00]

A red flag - sure. A deal breaker - not yet.

The point is, Precious may just be visiting his friend rather than expecting a bag full of cash.

 

[B1GEast]

Some of the posts are questioning the young man's integrity.

If he wants to visit Western Kentucky, then that's his choice. I'd rather it be Western Kentucky than Kentucky.

A visit to them only helps us. Stop with the assumptions, that only hurts Uconn.

Believe whatever you want.

I'm not ruling anything out, and I'm not saying Stansbury is 100% above board. Just don't want to rush to condemn the kid when there's absolutely zero evidence or even whispers that he's done anything wrong.

Bassey's guardian is being paid 200k to "coach" at WKU..dirty, yes, but there's no rules against this (yet) Western Kentucky to pay Charles Bassey's guardian $200K as assistant

 

[Jaybo]

Western “Kentucky” visit

 

[Chief00]

What we don’t know is if the model has changed since the FBI investigation?

Classic end around. Jobs and housing another end around. Bigly...loopholes.

I would never judge the player in these types of hypothetical situations. They’re often just pawns used by people they trust.

More evidence that you are not Best Poster.

I think we can place a very, very strong guess that it has not. Maybe only the methods in which transactions are made/brokered.

One of the many interesting anecdotes from the FBI case - I believe Book from UA was caught on the wiretap discussing Quinnerly's payment and the fact that Jahvon was completely in the dark. I imagine this is not a rare scenario.

It’s not just Bassey. They signed 3 other dudes with high major offers in 2018. And more in 2017.

Delano Banton is legit (Frosh). He won't start. Gambrell is a lights out shooter (Frosh) but injured. Looks like Bassey, Murray (Auburn), Savage, Anderson and Hollingsworth will start. Anderson and Banton are both top 100 kids IMO. With Horton and Smith (Frosh) also coming in off the bench the team has ridiculous length. You have to think when/IF Bearden and Gambrell return this is a team no one will want to see in March. Loaded...
