That Nike's are made in Malaysia or something like that? Pretty sure a 6 year old knows that. He'll I'm sure 6 year olds are making the shoe

Well of course you know now. Someone explained it to you.

I asked a Malaysian guy here in Kuwait to be 100% certain

The 7 year old responsible for Zion's shoes was fired this morning, per a report.

Coby White is a bad man. I’d take him in a Bulls UNC if we fall to 5

Fun times for LSU!

I just think its funny that the big paying recruits came after Ben Simmons

I'm still trying to figure out how so many teams are indicted, shit Kansas has been part of like 3 bombshell stories themselves.

But LSU is the one suspending everyone.

Really sounds like it's just the bluebloods like Kansas knowing they can get away with more but a school like LSU needs to go into CYA mode with the quickness because the NCAA won't be so kind to us like they were to UNC with their scandal or they would be to Duke, and what we're obviously seeing with Kansas.

Creighton suspended their assistant coach

I've been following this religiously. The main thing is these wire taps and how obvious they are. I think once all the tapes are released (if ever) then we will see more but I am guessing LSU knows the reported conversation they have on tape with Wade is real and are just trying to get out in front of it so that the NCAA goes easier on them. If there are no damning tapes then Kansas, Arizona, and whoever else will just keep denying. NC State got called out pretty bad too but Gottfried is already fired and Smith Jr in the league so nothing they can really do

There's a conversation on FBI wiretap of Zion Williamson's Dad asking Kansas for money, housing and a job. That alone implicates Kansas and Duke as well since the Cam Newton loophole was closed with parents/relatives asking for money on a kid's behalf. Duke gets implicated as well by playing an ineligible player this season.


Zion is the biggest prospect in probably a decade or so and I bet those just sorta following this story don't even know that his name is implicated in all of this, because when it's Kansas and Duke implicated, it magically just seems to go away at some point, everyone just kinda forgets about it.

Duke may get slammed for all of this too but I do not think those tapes are released and just rumored right? If they are out then I have not heard them. I think that the blue bloods are hoping the tapes get buried and never see the light of day and they get off with no penalty. LSU may just be thinking about preventing more strict penalties if it all comes out since they are not a blue blood and I am guessing not making nearly the money from their hoops program as Duke and Kansas. I mean that is basically the identity of those two universities.

I want blood and hope all the tapes come out and it will be glorious. If Coach K does go to the Lakers as there have been whispers about this offseason then he knows tapes are coming would be my guess

I'm not familiar with the "Cam Newton loophole".

But, it sounds like you're saying that if Zion's dad proposed those things to Kansas, it makes Zion ineligible, and whether Duke knew about it or not they're in trouble for playing a player that was ineligible?

That sounds like the dumbest thing ever for the second school involved assuming there is no evidence they knew about it.

Newton's dad was calling the shots and asking for money, which technically was not against a rule, per se. They amended it to say if a family member does this, the player can be ruled ineligible.

While I understand it's not concrete, but the Zion thing has been in the news since October, so Duke has certainly been aware that there are FBI wiretaps with Zion's Dad asking KU for money/housing/job which effectively make Zion ineligible by rule.

Are we just assuming at this point that Kansas said no thanks to his dad so he played for Duke for free?

Coach K is 72?????

Well Duke costs twice what Kansas costs so maybe that made up the difference.

nick wrote:Coach K is 72?????

He's been coaching at Duke since 1980...

just wild that theres rumors hes LA bound. How much time does he have left? 3-7 yrs?

He's been rumored for the Lakers job no less than 5 times or so in the past if I had to guess. Maybe Bron finally makes him take the jump.

Lebron is pushing for Coach K is what is being “reported” as they have always been close. If K does think a reckoning is coming in college and he may be implicated why not go.

I also see it’s reported that after LSU heard about the tapes that Will Wade refused to meet with the AD and would not participate in their internal investigation..... umm, that seems like a reason they are suspending him and holding out Smart

Yea

He met with them once after the initial reports and ensured them that nothing else would come out. Something else came out, and he wouldn't meet with them again stating he can't talk about it due to pending court processes or something like that.
