RedEyedGhost Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Apparently they have to tell the NCAA which players were involved within the next 45 days, and that will determine which games are vacated. I'll bet anybody $1000 that none of those players participated in the title win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly 3 of them went on to play at Louisville... Makes one curious if they are testing Louisville to own up the truth (good luck with that), or if something more nefarious is going on. The feeling around local circles here (the Cardinal ones) seems to be they'll be vacating 100+ wins, along with a final 4 and the banner. Maybe the NCAA is so mad at UNC that they're going to throw the book at UofL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the dates were odd. One of the prospects was said to be part of the program from December 2010 until July 2014. After looking, it was found that Russ Smith played his first game in December of 2010 and was drafted in July 2014. The local assumption is that banners are coming down. And now that the NCAA has crossed that line... even UNC should be nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Kentucky might have lucked out by missing on Bamba. His older brother has a very detailed video online describing improper benefits that Bamba received from a booster who reportedly wanted to be in his inner circle when he made the NBA. Texas is very clearly not implicated, but there's a very real chance that he never plays a mjnute of college ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperry Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 If I was a top prospect, there is zero chance I'd go play for free and enrich the NCAA. I'd sign a shoe deal and go workout for 9 months with trainers dedicated to teaching me how to play in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a mystery candidate. Wow them with some athletic highlights but nothing to pick apart. Skal Labissiere is the flip side of that argument. Had he sat out a year, he would have likely gone top ten. Instead, he played and looked lost and only the ineptitude of the Kings kept him in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Interesting: Quote Update: Andrew Slater from 247 Sports reports that the NCAA is already aware of the relationship between Mohamed Bamba and Greer Love. The bond between the two goes back further than Bamba’s brother led on, which would make gifts acceptable under the condition of Love being a longstanding relationship before Bamba was an elite prospect. Love founded a program, “Locke’s Lions,” to support the students of an elementary after-school program that he worked with in 2008. Johnson, who made the allegations, faces various criminal charges in multiple states. Love is not a booster of a university, despite the allegation from Johnson.

RedEyedGhost Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Duke is cancelling their overseas trip so that K can have knee surgery. Surprised they are letting them go with an assistant coaching, just to let the team get all of that extra time in before the season starts. But of course the last time an assistant took over it didn't really turn out that well. How long before he hangs it up? That's his second surgery this year.

No need to be shocked - he went the wise decision to partner for 35 weeks to be with the best coach in all of coaching history. Obviously very happy that he has selected Duke, but it's still tempered with they can have all the talent in the world, can they put it together one year at a time since the team will be different in 2018.
