@Kcmatt7 We know who got what, we know what Zion got, we know the details. We have the info on any top player. We know the contacts, we know what was suggested to us, we know what we deal failed to meet to get a player. We trying to get deals done. We know what parent got what job, or what house, or what benefits. We are one of the biggest players in the game. Self knows. KT knows. You think that Adidas didn’t let us know what Nike was up to? All assuming that the premise that all of this is wide-spread and rampant is true. Time to break the mafia like code of silence (again, under this narrative).

The NCAA can investigate, and force coaches to cooperate, or get hit for the failing to cooperate. The NCAA does have subpoena like power to member institutions.

This would be in part a publicity item, to apply pressure.

Or we can take it up the a** while others skate in a scheme that, under this theory, covered most of CBB? Not me.

This is a pipe dream that’s not based anywhere in reality.

@HighEliteMajor With what evidence? Burn it all down with what? You keep saying it, but I don’t see how we could possibly burn it all down considering the NCAA does not have subpoena powers. Our coaches wouldn’t want to implicate themselves in anything illegal.

How do you propose we burn it down?

IT’S GETTING JUICY!!!

Matt Norlander has tweeted about Steve Smith assistant coach at Clemson discussing potential payments to Zion Williamson.

Also USC’s Tony Bland on tape discussing payments to lure Marvin Bagley Jr.

Hilarious how both ended up at Duke for FREE RIGHT??? RIGHT???

I think Nike paid Bagley’s dad to coach an AAU team or something. Which is fine for some reason.

Yea JJs mom was his AAU coach if I recall correctly… Very very likely that’s how money was funneled to him. At least, one avenue.

We are 100% the victim if we are the only ones who end up getting the shaft from all of this. I guess besides Louisville…

I don’t think reclassing is done for 2019 yet by a long shot. You’d be dumb to be in that 2021 draft if you can be in the 2020 draft instead. I wonder how many more guys are able to do it. Just going down the ESPN 60 list:

• Mobley
• Hampton
• Johnson
• Brown
• Barnes
• Boston
• Todd
• Cunningham
• Christopher
• Suggs
• Walker
• Roach
• Brakefield
• Dante
• Juzang
• Williams
• Cooper

Yea I’m done. Like 90% of the top guys are old enough. I expect several more names to start popping up.

Not a word about this on the Duke board.

This is absurd.

Seventh Woods leaving UNC. Big disappointment for them.

Could see Dooley or Martin get him I think he’ll be a solid contributor somewhere.

Jake Weingarten on Twitter is saying Kyree Walker might reclassify to 2019, with KU and Arkansas being the leaders. Additional comment is that KU now has a chance to land two 5* guards this year. Interesting…

The other is RJ Hampton.

I’d be ok with this. He looks like a multi-year guy to me though. I don’t know what he thinks he is, but he’s a little rough around the edges.

Great size. College ready physique. Decent athlete. Plays with a physicality. Handles are roughhhh. Pretty good finisher. Not shooting .400 from 3, but better shooter than JJ. Goes after rebounds.

Looks to me like a modern day 4 man not really a wing.

That is a good point about merging into one. 247 and Scout did it recently but even that pool of fans was one-sided in size with the Phog having way more. I don’t think many on here would stick around if this place one day merged with the Phog. Nightmare over there and takes away from some of the people that post on there that actually are good.

Basically 90% of this board would not last on the Phog. I agree.
