There are problems with that theory.

First, LSU is not one of the schools identified in the indictment. So whether Wade was in on any scheme is irrelevant.

Second, whether or not other coaches at other schools participated voluntarily in a similar scheme (not saying Wade did) is not a defense to the crimes they have been charged with committing.

The only testimony or evidence that is relevant, is testimony or other evidence that relates to the elements of the crime or any legally recognized defense to the crime. The fact that other coaches may have been involved in similar schemes is not a fact that goes towards proving the elements of the crime or any legally recognized defense.

That is why Dawkins defense team is trying to tell this story through the media, because they will not be able to tell the story at trial.

Lol I don’t necessarily disagree but you asked why he was called by the defense. And what I posted is why.

Now if you are asking if I think he will actually testify. My guess is no.

But that wasn’t your question.

Dawkins defense is basically what everyone is saying to defend Wade. Everyone does it no one is defrauded here.

The defense may not work. But they have Dawkins on hundreds of hours of tape. He can’t argue he didn’t do it. His lawyers are saying look sure but this is how basketball recruiting is. Everyone knows it and my client did not defraud anyone.
