He seemed confident that he did no wrong and that nothing bad would come of it to me. I was fully expecting a bunch of coach speak but he was very matter of fact.


I think it’s pretty telling that he didn’t come out and say “I’ve never paid players or gave them extra benefits”.

Just “I’ve never had dealings with Dawkins”

Which isn't a good look when he is on tape talking to Dawkins! That part I don't like but I didn't expect him to say anything to the contrary.

I guess he figures if he’s caught he’s fricked regardless, so might as well play dumb and hope it goes away.

He’s allegedly on tape in a transcript that wasn’t admitted into court.

I’m not sure why y’all and the media keep going back to “it wasn’t admitted”. It wasn’t admitted in this case because it’s not relevant to the case being tried. That has nothing to do with the accuracy of the report.

He said he’s never done any business with him.

That’s a whole lot different.

Are you serious? He answered how he should have. He's never done business with the guy. No need to say anymore.

And as for why it wasn't admitted....bc the conversation lacked context and details. It's a defense attorney presuming what was meant by a nonspecific statement.

thats pretty important to note. But let the witch hunt continue

Dude, he's busted.

FBI wire tap. That's not going away. And it explains why he hauls in 5 top 100 players. It's not the gumbo in BR that got these kids to come to BR.

What happened to doing things the right way?

For the millionth time, he wasn't wiretapped by the FBI. He had a conversation with a guy that was wiretapped. Apparently there wasn't anything damning enough said to worry about. Unless more comes out then I'm not worried in the slightest. I think this will be forgotten about in a week(the Will Wade part).

If that’s all they have, then they’ve got nothing. Until there is documented evidence of money being exchanged, it’s just a vague statement open to interpretation.

That he was willing to pay for a player. This may not be the smoking gun per-say, but it gives them the ammo to start a thorough investigation.

He did? Were those his words? Or is that the assumption of the attorney??

He's on FBI wire discussing what it would take to recruit a player. The 7 footer. Like it was natural.

Where is the tape where Will says, "the kid's parent wants cash, job, housing....NO THANKS. WE do things better than that at LSU."

So simple. THat's what I would have said, proudly.

Lol that's a lot of assuming going on there by the attorney and yourself that any of those things were discussed. Where is the tape of Will saying he would provide any of those things? Again...exact words of Will?

Some of you are in for a shock. Again, I would love to be proven wrong. Perhaps the FBI WAS NOT targeting Wade. Unfortunately, he go caught up in the web.

He better have one hell of an explanation.

I don't think you would be a high level basketball coach if that was your approach.
