I wonder where the money for those thousands of dollars of basketball shoes came from? He says his mother works hard to support them. Most have a good job


They get them at big camps (Kobe, Lebron, KG) and AAU tournaments, and I am sure some are bought.

With high school basketball players of his caliber, this is not a sign of impropriety.

And these big camps. Don't they cost money to go to those? I'm not suggesting any breaking of rules. As you and others have pointed out, I am sure it is common practice.

To me it seems a little two faced to say that a college cannot give a kid money or gifts to come to their schools but they can receive them from other sources. Truth be told there probably isn't a big time football or basketball player in high school today who is truly an amateur.
