FBI...here we go
-
Ok Gassnola’s testimony and phone calls/texts are kinda crazy. Sounds like Laranaga and NC State Assist. coaches had direct contact and knowledge. Also sounds like Gassnola is throwing everyone under the bus he possible can. This is probably the most important testimony for both sides.

Soren Petro crushing it rn

Given he’s already pleaded guilty and has a mutiny of other charges he could be facing in the future, how credible is anything he is going to say without the paper trail going to be believed?
-
@BeddieKU23 Many of the things today have been recorded phone calls and text messages. So, pretty believable it seems.
-
Things are heating up as expected.
-
Today it was shown or said that Arizona offered $150,000 for Nassir Little who then ended up at UNC. As we know this is not just a Adidas problem. Also in light of that makes Roy’s comments about being dumbfounded even more laughable.

Interesting. I’m just wondering how credible he will be, there’s a lot going on with this guy
Just reading all the stuff he’s done was pretty crazy. Then find out where he lives is within 30 minutes of my hometown.
My good friend that is connected with Brewster Academy knows TJ, had some unflattering things to say about him and his ‘ways’.

Anything good?

@BeddieKU23 Yea I don’t know the credibility. But at this point, they have an Adidas board member emailing him and Gatto and basically saying do whatever you have to.

Only UK hillbillies think Nike isn’t involved because loool

@BeddieKU23 Summary so far:
- Nas Little offered $150k to go to Arizona. Laranaga (supposedly) said they wanted him at Miami, so they ponied up.
- Delivered $40k in cash to NC State Assistant Coach in person.
- Paid $15k to a Deandre Ayton relative to give to Deandre as a sweetener trying to sway him to Adidas.
-
So what are the chances Self gets out of today’s testimony without any bombshell allegations against him?

Thanks. All this just what TJ is saying or actual evidence supplied in each case?

Yeah but they haven’t gotten to Silvio, Preston’s KU/Adidas involvment yet either it looks. Right?
-
@BeddieKU23 Correct. Next update should come around noon when the court goes to lunch break.
-
Gassnola testified that SDS was paid $60,000 by a Maryland booster and needed to pay it back in order to go to KU. Gassnola offered $20,000 to help but said he never paid it. Did pay him $2500 on a separate issue.
-
Gassnola began making payments to Billy’s Mom in the fall of 2016. 4 different wire transfers equaling $90,000.
-
Gassnola was adamant that nobody on the KU staff knew about payments.
-

Wow. Preston’s mom wanted Gassnola to tell people they were intimate to justify payments!

Payed Fenny?
-
Looks like we may have gotten past the worst of it. And came out looking pretty damn clean… Of course, 11 days still left and I don’t want to speak too soon.
-
Imagine being a Maryland fan that thinks Bruno wasn’t paid.

Jeff about to go nuclear on KU over it lol

Sounds like Nicole Player Billy’s mom is a really piece of work. Also scum.

Her son is Jesus so yeah this isn’t groundbreaking.
Why we ever recruited him to begin with is really the bigger problem. His issues were well known
-
So Gassnola says he never gave 20k to Fenny but gave him 2500 for online courses. Also says none of this was discussed with KU coaches. Interesting stuff
-
@BeddieKU23 He doesn’t come here if Ayton doesn’t get a shit ton of cash to go to Arizona.
-
@BeddieKU23 Of course we would still be in the same boat if we landed Ayton apparently.
-

Well, yeah lol.
-
But $2,500 sure seems like we could get out of that one. 3 game suspension lol. Whatever Sexton got.

Yep. Would prob have a title tho.

Did the 2500 help him become eligible academically. Could be a bigger issue?? Honestly don’t know

While true we were the only real blue blood to sniff around his recruitment for years. How we didn’t take the high road on his issues is beyond me. Why were other coaches smarter?
-
Dan Wolken from the USA Today is going in on Self. I guess I fail to understand why… Seems to me Self and KU so far look fine.

I have almost no doubt. Imagine swapping doke and Ayton. Playing full tilt.

Wolken is a turd

@BeddieKU23 I think Bill just recruits who he likes, period. And has faith in his staff that they won’t do anything shady so that nothing falls back on them regardless of how idiotic parents and family can be.
-
@BShark It is like he doesn’t understand that Preston never played.
-
My dislike for Wolken greatly predates today btw

Preston had a lot of well known issues without his family being involved. Bouncing high schools, character flags, academics to name a few. We truly bent down to get him to play here. The reward has been what?
I guess my point is we recruit some high level character players that seem to reflect the character of our coach. When we recruit the Preston’s of the world I don’t understand the logic.
-
@BShark Oh I know.
-
If Preston doesn’t wreck the car does he play?
