August 24, 201214 yr So you're saying Matt Jones does NOT try to discredit the story simply based upon the author? During the first hour of the show today, Jones didn't discredit the story. He talked about how it might be similar to John Wall's situation & how it might be different. He said he believes that Noel will probably receive a similar punishment as Wall. He did, however, rightly identify Thamel's obsession with Calipari.
August 24, 201214 yr Not entirely true. He went from Chicago to Detroit (home of WWW) to take the test because his inner city Chicago family was going to a Bulls/Pistons playoff game. Plenty of red flags on the recruiting end of that situation... Who asked you? :isurrender:
August 24, 201214 yr Depends. If it was determined that the staff knew about it then it becomes "recruiting." What was determined? Do you recall? Obviously, eligibility is related. Still, Cal isn't despised for cheating to get guys eligible. He's despised because people say he cheats to get them to pick his school. That's my point. Yet, he's clean on that count. Either he's clean, or he's smarter and better than the you. (Not you in particular) Either option is something a hater would be loathe to admit. For the record, I don't care about the perception and accusations. I just think it is interesting how it seems to be acceptable to accuse him and insinuate things, but many of these other guys are above reproach. But, such is the world. Perception becomes reality. Facts are of little import.
August 24, 201214 yr That has to be the absolute worst part of recruiting. As stated earlier, recruiting is creepy. I wonder if some of these coaches feel dirty after a recruiting trip.
August 26, 201214 yr Report: NCAA visited friend of UK's Noel | Basketball: Men | Kentucky.com A little more in the Lex Herald this morning.
August 26, 201214 yr This won't amount to anything. A dad's son is friends to Noels so he takes him on vacation with him and also pays a plane tickets for Nerlin to a Florida university where his son attends school. What's that got to do with his recruitment at UK? Actually, what's that got to do with anything? Certainly not his eligiblity.
August 26, 201214 yr Author This won't amount to anything.

What's that got to do with his recruitment at UK? Actually, what's that got to do with anything? Certainly not his eligiblity. If that's all they are questioning then it seems pretty simple. My guess is they're looking into his unofficial vists to UK and/or other schools and are wondering how he paid for those.
August 26, 201214 yr Calipari's already had two final fours vacated. Word is they are putting up the Championship banner with velcro. Nerlens would fit right in. :eek:

Nerlens would fit right in. :eek: Yeah especially since he's taken all that money, got his mom a new house, flew to lex in a private jet, then drove out in a new Lambo that was bought by Leon Rose.

August 27, 201214 yr ^ USC? Or are you just speaking of basketball? Didn't Tark win a lawsuit against the NCAA at some point?
August 27, 201214 yr ^ USC? Or are you just speaking of basketball? Didn't Tark win a lawsuit against the NCAA at some point? USC was stripped of the championship by the BCS, not the NCAA. At least that is how I understand it.
August 27, 201214 yr USC was stripped of the championship by the BCS, not the NCAA. At least that is how I understand it. Almost positive that's correct. But I still see it the same.
