Raphael "Blaze" Chillious

[UconnU]

Was working with Blazer the Blaze strategy or is it just a coincidence that this guys name is Blazer?

FBI surveillance videos show how college athletics is a cesspool, but NCAA doesn't care enough to watch

FBI surveillance video shows how college athletics is full of bribery and scheming, yet not a single NCAA official bothered to show up in court to witness the unveiling first hand.

>>Christian Dawkins, Marty Blazer and an undercover FBI agent took a business trip together to Las Vegas. In an effort to appear like a budding, big-money sports agency that could make it rain across college basketball, they rented a hotel suite at the Cosmopolitan.

This was no regular room, either. It had a view of the Strip and blue accent lighting and its own bar just off the living room.

It was big enough to entertain a parade of college basketball assistant coaches in town for a recruiting tournament. The coaches were there to pledge their willingness to sell their players out to Dawkins agency in exchange for the agency providing them the cash that they could use to buy the next round of high school recruits.<<

Blazer testified that Dawkins didn't pay, or set up payments, to those coaches because they "just didn't have any good players at that time." The video recordings and testimony from Blazer included discussions about Dawkins providing resources in exchange for access with those coaches.
"If something needs to be done, we can be of assistance," Dawkins said to Chillious. "... You have the resources and ammunition if you need it."

Anyone remember the old Beaky Buzzard cartoons? That's all I can think of when I see Chillious.

 

[CL82]

It's a dumb take to attack the reporter and not the idiot assistant coach we had. But fanboys gonna fanboy

So I have to ask, do you realize that you are not saying anything even vaguely sensible. I mean it is just an act isn't it?

I mean, yeah I'm exaggerating. But it's beyond predictable of who would show up and defend KO and his staff in this thread. Those trolls don't deserve a serious response

Here I am thinking tuna is free.

It is if you got a boat!!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

What a circus Ollie ran.

The board collectively creamed their jeans when Chillious came onboard.

Terrible coach but he has the rep for doing whatever it takes to get recruits. Hiring him was a desperate move and the reaction was from a desperate fanbase.

 

[formerlurker]

I'm guilty, Ern.

 

[Palatine]

You don't accuse people of what you think they would have hypothetically done under certain circumstances -- only of something they did.

We know that's not true.

And? No one was complaining at the time.

Things were beyond bad, I think most fans didn't give a care how he got them but thought he would bring in some major players.

So you think it’s ok to ruin someone’s character or fire someone based on a pyramid of hypotheticals? It really is a lot of nonsense. Someday if you are in that situation, you would feel different.

 

[formerlurker]

Do you think it's OK to postulate on recruiting using a pyramid of hypotheticals?

 

[Chief00]

Do you think it's OK to postulate on recruiting using a pyramid of hypotheticals?

LOL - Criminality requires a higher standard of proof, because you can lose your freedom and go to jail. Discussing possible recruiting outcomes is just the fun of being a fan. True, some have better information than others.

Are you referring to someone else's statement?

LOL if I'm in that situation I'm like "Nah I'm good."

I don't remember anyone saying he was a terrible coach.
All I remember was a boneyard orgy when we hired Chillious. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[SixRings]

Blaze, Chill, Chief; Rock bottom.
Hurley, Moore, Douche00 on ignore: Love our new direction.

Whatever it takes?

I might have been the only one to say his coaching was subpar and unproven, was not over-enthused about the hire. KO had the BY sipping the Jim Jones Kool-Aid.

People wanted him for his recruiting, not his coaching.
