Self and Huggy are like best buds on the road. I just imagine those two eating at a Waffle House at two in the morning after going to the bars. Just shooting the shit.
But also I agree about his steamy take. If anyone thinks Bill Walker went to KSU for free, I also have magic beans I can sell you.
UK/Cal really wanted Oscar Tshiebwe but he just went to WVU because he really likes Huggins okay??!!
Nike probably was okay that he at least stayed in the brotherhood. But Oscar does come from the same school as Thugnate.
WVU had a lot of connections to him. I have no doubt that someone took money, possible that Oscar didn’t see a dime of it though.
Nike layered that cake pretty good though I’m sure for a Top 25 type kid.

I actually think Tshiebwe fits with Huggy really well and I’m almost pissed that’s where he went.
Yeah you think well Konate will be gone after the season, great, phew, in comes his CLONE

I’d love to know what Nike is doing differently.

Well for one they don’t employ the Gassnola’s of the world from what I’m aware of a few situations. I would imagine not a ton of difference, just a well oiled machine with a lot of power and influence

Yeah, plus they just happened to catch a guy on something else that led to Adidas guys mostly. More trials are coming though, we will see what shakes out with Nike.

Guilty: All Counts
-
Well, it looks like the NCAA will live to fight another day. KU and Self pretty much are now gifted plausible deniability. Next up, Nike coaches. When’s that trial?

ALL 3 MAN SENTENCING WILL HAPPEN MARCH 5 THEY WILL REMAIN OUT ON BOND UNTIL THEN

Hehehe

@JAYHAWKFAN214 This prosecution obviously has protected America from horrible danger. Good thing these guys will not be out on the streets any. . . . oh, wait…

Truly vial crimes committed.

Using smarter runners that are not trying to boost their own egos and are not getting caught?

It just blows my mind how you even put yourself in a position to get caught. Like Adidas stole a guy from Nike just to put this pay for play scheme into action.

they will not be

Sentencing is Next march so nothing is likely to happen until after the season is over.

You lawyer folk. Is it too late for a deal to be made at this point? That’s over right?

As far as I know deals are gone as far as guilt or innocence; however, a deal could still be made about sentencing recommendation in exchange for cooperation and/or additional information that will help with future cases.
As I understand…and I could be wrong…this type of cases receive relatively minor sentences, maybe months in a so called “country club” type detention facility where white collar criminals go. Given the relatively small $ involved I would think sentences will be months rather than years.
Hopefully the lawyers can chime in with pertinent information

Only deal they can make now is to roll on others for a reduced sentence if the government doesn’t have all they want on a certain other shoe company.

@BShark OK, so bud - -now it seems like these guy’s were found guilty right? - - just came on board and reading some comments. - -Sooo now my question is , we know that Coach Self is sitting Silvio -we know Coach said that until this was cleared up Coach will be holding Silvio out, Coach stated that they had been in contact/talking to the NCAA - -So my question now becomes:
They NOT the NCAA but these guys will be givin their sentence on like March 5th is what I thought I saw - - - So we sit Silvio till the NCAA is done with whatever now right? - – So if it takes for them the entire season is done - - I mean Silvio sits until a decision is made I got that – BUT - - - Could we red shirt Silvio this year while we wait OR does Silvio just transfer - -which that wouldn’t make ANY sense - -still wouldn’t be able to play - -OR - - does Silvio leave and try to start on working out individually and try to enter next years NBA draft - - - where do we go what does Silvio do from here? what do you all think? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

yes they was found guitlty
-
@jayballer73 This result is amazing for KU as far as I can tell.
@mayjay maybe you can chime in as I am no legal expert. BUT, as far as I understand this, since they were found guilty of defrauding KU, as far as the law is concerned KU as an institution couldn’t have been part of the fraud. And obviously Self and Townsy are university employees so as far as this result is concerned, they were not a part of it. I’m not sure how anything happens to Self/Townsy/KU at this point but we will see I suppose.
-
@FarmerJayhawk @Kcmatt7 They can also deal for vacating one or more of the charges while not appealing the others, as well as testifying in future trials. The amount of a fine could be in play, too.
-
@BShark I have said before, I think it has nothing to do with anything the NCAA wants to do. I was never very afraid of anyone at KU getting hit with criminal charges.
@jayballer73 There is no reason for the NCAA to wait until sentencing UNLESS the prosecutor agrees to a lighter sentence in exchange for the defendants to agree to cooperate completely with the NCAA.
-
@mayjay Thank you for your input. The way I see it the defense was trying to argue the coaches were extensions of the university, and they got shut down.
Also I am not sure where they found this judge, but he seemed to be very contentious towards the defense.
-
@BShark His not allowing the additional transcripts into evidence might be the vulnerable part of these convictions.
I don’t really miss this stuff, contrary to any impressions I may have given by jumping all over any legal issue. I prefer reading legal mysteries to being in one!

Matt Scott Retweeted Ian JoDeCi
It’s good. Using things like normal recruiting talk text messages as ‘proof’ was a dumb defense from the start.
-
Realistically and given the small amounts of $ involved (in the big scheme of things), what are the chances that the sentences are longer than a few months? Would it be worth it to the defendants to deal for shorter sentences which might amount to a few months when the option of keeping their mouths shut might result in some corporate loyalty reward down the road that might even include getting their jobs back?
Would the judge not allowing defense evidence result in grounds for a reversal on appeal? If yes, it could take years to sort it out.
-
I would think that Adidas would pay them off to not say a word from here on out.
-
bill self will have a press conference @7pm tonight to talk about what happen today
-
I KNEW it - - I KNEW it. - -the most predictable thing to come. - - doing my trolling – UK boards just going Ape s- - - about the gully verdict - - & North Carolina site boo hooing - - talking about how self should be fired - and how now is the time for the NCAA to lower the boom on Self and KU - -already know why they want to see KU get hammered - they still believe they have a shot for JRE so want to see KU get it
This is coming from home of the fake classes oh look at them thumping the chests lo - -almost comical
-
The hand wringing from UNC, UK and Duke fans rings particularly hollow.
-
ADAM ZAGORIA@ADAMZAGORIA 9M LEGAL SOURCE FAMILIAR WITH THE ADIDAS TRIAL TELLS ME DEFENDANTS LIKELY TO FACE SENTENCE OF 18 MONTHS - 2YEARS, BUT 2-4YEARS’ IS A VERY REAL EXPECTATION’
-
That’s really not much time at all tbh.
-
Nope, white collar criminals don’t really get long sentences unless it involves hundreds of millions of $ and lots of victims.
18-24 months out after 8-12 months for good behavior…why even bother trying to get a better deal? It is as good as it gets.

Coach Self press conference at 7 in Allen field house. - Some local sports talk guys saying kind of curious of what he might say - -almost insinuating they think might have something to say about Silvio. - -I don’t know , they were wondering if they might carry this on espn plus- -I doubt that - but wish I could hear what he has to say on air. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Gonna take off his shirt and spin it around while laughing at the haters.
TEFLON DON. Hustlers gonna hustle. Chumps like Pitino get caught.
-
Don’t see shit on Bill or KT here.
-
@BShark This looks like the items used by the prosecutors and admitted into evidence in the trial. I think the Self and KT things were in defense exhibits and things the defense tried but failed to get in.
-
No tape on Self. One 5 minute conversation before the wiretap and one 5 minute conversation not recorded when a technical error occurred. As far as I know.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Uh, the best it gets is no prison with an agreement on sentencing.
@BShark I think being in prison or a minimum security federal site is a bigger issue for an individual than you suggest. I wouldn’t volunteer. Doubt you would. If fact, I bet we’d both talk a bit to avoid it. You lose a portion of your life going to prison. Folks talk to stay out of that situation.
No one should make the assumption that what we see there at the link, that was the evidence at the trial, is all the evidence that the prosecutor has. The prosecutor could easily have additional evidence he strategically chose not to use. The prosecutor only has to turn over exculpatory evidence.
I’m not suggesting this to be true, just that I would not be surprised if the alleged technical errors in the recording with Self were magically resolved at some point. I don’t trust this at all. Not expecting it. But it wouldn’t shock me.
If this is all they have, combined with the texts we know about, then the only thing Self has to fear are the squealers. And even then, there would need to be some sort of paper (electronic) trail I would think for a charge to be filed. The squealers could have their own “evidence.” Ugh. However, I would think that squealers might have already tried to use that evidence given their case theory. Lots of unknowns.
-
@HighEliteMajor I don’t mean to glorify prison by any means. There is a lot wrong with the US prison system, and justice system in fact with sentencing but I don’t really want to get into that here. I’m just saying, they can likely get off earlier as well and in the scope of prison times, it’s not that bad.
-
My point was that he can do very little time and have Adidas indebted to him or do no time and became a pariah in the business.

Now that the KU/ESPN smear campaign has ran its course now its back to Miller and UA.
