Fans seem to forget that WW was so fricking dumb.... he was literally meeting players at the local ATM and give them bags of money. I can look past the wire tapping BS, but paying players out of YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNT is moronic


It’s amazing how quickly things get exaggerated. The ALLEGATION is that he paid someone believed to be associated with a recruit out of a joint checking account. By the way, the NCAA didn’t prove that allegation.

FYI paying someone “believed” to be associated with a recruit is exactly how every other P5 coach recruited. It is was fairly common knowledge that O had several guys on the direct payroll, biggest one was Eli Ricks.

He wasn’t sloppy or dumb, he was extremely unlucky. In what world did coaches anticipate having their phones tapped by the FBI.

Will Wade’s phone wasn’t wiretapped by the FBI. The schmuck he was talking to was.

And the player he was talking about on that phone call was Javonte Smart. The NCAA looked he and his family up and down and cleared Smart to play.
