Rumors have been swirling around about Thon Maker transferring to Dunham. Would probably help him eventually going to LSU.
I made some phone calls and well. Squash it. Won't happen.

According to what I've heard Big Jim is pulling some serious strings to get this to happen. But all rumors as of now, heating up though.
Big Jim has never, and will never pay for a player. It isn't his way and I'd put everything on it. They'll pay for the kids expenses when it comes to the team (which is 100% legal to do so) but they won't pay a kid/handler. Forget it. Wherever you heard this, make sure to let them know it isn't true as well.
There will always be talks but just know it doesn't happen here. Thon is a good kid but his handler/guardian/whatever wants $$$ and someone will give it to him. Unless he strikes out everywhere (yeah, not gonna happen) ... he won't be at Dunham.

I wasn't accusing him, just stating what I have been told from some pretty credible people. Don't know him personally and won't make accusations without real facts. But according to a lot of families around high school basketball, their program has gotten a bit interesting. Thon going there would have been nice though.
