If you ain't cheating you ain't trying. I'm all for it.

Its just a brief topic they touch on. For many people it was strange for the top player in the country to come to a school not traditionally known for basketball.

Ok just because he didnt go to Kentucky, or Kansas or North Carolina or Duke, then he was paid. Give me a break, its not like his God Father coaches at LSU or anything, or that he will be the #1 pick in the draft... Jeez all this for attention for ESPN.

I may have overstated how much they talk about the allegations. It was just a very brief segment in a long article but I found it interesting. I don't think ESPN mentioned it for attention though because like I said they barely mentioned it at all.

It shouldn't have been mentioned at all. Just typical ESPN bullshite trying to stir the pot.

There is no legitimate reason this should be brought up in any article.



This is how i know you didnt read it. they shut down the allegations as quickly as you, basically saying that it is ridiculous.

try reading something before getting all up in arms about it.

It's sad if you don't read that article. It's a good article and is good publicity for LSU and the team.

Still pretty bad for ESPN to include that in the article. There's a reason cuse, UK, UNC, Duke, Kansas have dominated basketball. They've all done things in recruiting to get that way. Larry Brown use to be at Kansas, enough said. Roy Williams is as dirty as they come. Calipari has skeletons in the closet and UK has always been shady. Coack K is not above it either.

I was interviewed by her for this article while at our football tailgate. My comments didn't make the article, I guess b/c I was wasted
