Will Wade done?

[intlzncster]

Can’t he just use the excuse “by offer I meant the full cost of tuition, playing time, good seats for his parents, etc. I didn’t mean cash”?

There's gonna be a lot of people slip sliding through on this.

Any coincidence LSU lean Lester Quinones was spotted at our game tonight?

 

[zls44]

I love how they have the coach dead to rights on a wiretap and Dickie V says he must be...suspended.

 

[nomar]

Tremont was ranked Top 50, right? I'll bet he got a nice paycheck.

100% certainty he got paid.

(A) We now know for a fact Wade buys recruits.

(B) There was no other reason for Waters to randomly go to LSU after talking about going to Stanford, Yale or Georgetown. "I'm in the mood for filet mignon. Let's go to BK."

I know I'm not saying anything we didn't already know. But it makes me mad.

You realize how ridiculously valuable the Brooklyn Bridge is? I’d love to buy it if it was for sale and I had the $$$. It would cost over $400 million to build that bridge today.

Well then you should be willing to pay me $100,000 for it. I'll give you my wire transfer details by PM.

On part of the call, Wade expresses frustration that a third party affiliated with the recruitment had yet to accept Wade’s “offer.” Instead, a verbal commitment to LSU was being delayed because Wade theorized he hadn’t given the third party a big “enough piece of the pie in the deal” and instead “tilted” the offer toward the player and his mother.

But nobody should talk about handlers, right?

 

[Hi-Low]

The NCAA simply should not give them an at-large bid period. If you have smoking gun evidence against someone you don't give them the opportunity to continue their crime spree. They should also not be allowed to participate in the SEC tourney.

 

[intlzncster]

Constrast that to his comments about Rick P and/or Sean Miller

 

[uconngb]

This has to be a hack. Even Dookie V is not this transparently pathetic.

 

[JimHurley]

Same thing with Sean Miller. He was caught on tape offering money for Ayton over a year ago yet continues to coach. The NCAA only cares about money, not about its big name programs following the rules.

Was he though? If they had him on tape, you'd think by now there would be a transcript or something similar to what we have with Wade right now.

ESPN says it stands by reporting on wiretap of Arizona coach Sean Miller talking payment

 

[UCONNRPh]

Did he coach Ben Simmons???

Come on now. Every kid from New Haven dreams of going to school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Just wait until he’s subpoenaed. I’m concerned for anyone who thinks Sean Miller is an innocent man.

Lol I don't think he's innocent. But they actually have Will Wade on a wiretap on two separate occasions - there were reports that they had Miller on tape, but nothing yet. Two entirely different situations as of right now.

 

[Guapo]

Maybe the offer was his top secret gumbo recipe?

 

[Rewster]

The SEC made it a point to get better at basketball.
They employed the same tactics to basketball as they do football.
These are the consequences.
The problem is the NCAA net only catches a few and has big holes for big programs to swim thru.

That's a strong ass offer.

I believe Miller is on a wiretap saying something incriminating.

I think the odds of it being about paying Ayton $100k are 0. Could be a different player and the same amount, but the timeline and connections between Dawkins, Ayton, and Miller don't match up.

I hate to break this to you, but nearly every school in every conference cheats in any revenue generating sport.

Except UConn, of course.

Vitale changed his opinion from suspending Wade to firing him since his first tweet. Guess the public outcry got to him.

 

[UConnRock]

The best option now is the suspend with pay as LSU does not want to end up in an Ollie situation in the “firing with cause” grey area. The NCAA has said nothing so firing may be premature

No, I wasn’t implying you believed he’s innocent. Just saying anyone who does is clueless. Trust you’re one of the last guys I’d call out on here

My bad. I think I'm pretty much where @auror is right now on Miller, they've got him, but it's not regarding Ayton.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

The best is dookies thinking Zion turned down 100K to play for Duke for free.

I've been saying this as well. No evidence, but hard to imagine he turned down Kansas and a job for his dad to play for Duke for free and leave his old man hanging. Common sense says there should be an investigation, but the NCAA has never been accused of having common or uncommon sense.

 

[rip7774]

We have a 3-star too 20 National juco player over to our house a lot just to invest in him and be family to the kids in our town.

LSU told him quote “whatever he wants they will get it for him.”

I don’t push our kids anywhere but i told him stay away from them. Those guys are bad people are we want our kids to go places that will grow them off and on the court.

Think he will go play for Buzz FYI.

We have a smallish 6-1 combo that Alterique told me is the best scorer he ever played with at the UCF game but i can’t staff to respond even with some of my connections to people who are connected. Frustrating. Big time scorer drive or 3, better handle. Unselfish.

SMU offered yesterday.

 

[CTBasketball]

Tremont’s recruitment always was strange. He randomly took an official to Western Kentucky amidst of the Georgetown talk. Then randomly ends up at LSU.

I’m interested to see what happens though because he’s caught red handed.
