quote:

NBA veteran Rafer Alston, father of 2027 five-star point guard Reese Alston, has told Wade off due to his ‘sleazeball’ recruiting tactics. “I’m disgusted by how this whole process has played out,” Alston told Smart. “Will Wade has operated in a disgusting manner. He is a sleazeball of an individual. I know there was a back alley deal involving PUMA, in which money was accepted without my authorization. He later revealed that his wife, Ashley, may have accepted money as part of a gun-jumped process. Due to Wade’s relentless pursuit of Alston against his father’s wishes, Alston told Smart that his legal team has been in contact with the NBA after Wade refused to honor his request to cut off contact more than three weeks ago.

In August, Alston revealed that he would consider LSU, along with Houston, Kentucky, Louisville, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Wichita State. It now seems, however, that those relations are no longer going in a positive direction. ”
His dad DOES NOT seem to be a fan of Will Wade 247 Rafer Alston on Will Wade

Probably because the LSU deal isn’t tailored to him. Reese is picking what school he wants to go to. Still sounds like LSU.

That's fake btw. Puma has zero affiliation with LSU or Wade. Also what would the NBA have to do with anything lol

247 should be ashamed for even posting that

Kid plays for an AAU team sponsored by Puma so it's possible they went through Puma to get to the mom.

He’s coming to LSU because he wants to come to LSU. What’s ridiculous is that an article like this would never make rounds if he were signing with Calipari or Self.

I think it's an on3 article.

His dad said he would contact the ncaa about Wade contacting his son.

Here is the substack the article came from. I think???

lol

Edit

Will Wade has operated in a disgusting manner. He is a sleazeball of an individual. I know there was a back alley deal involving PUMA, in which money was accepted without my authorization.”

Alston alleged that his wife, Ashley Alston, may have accepted money as part of a gun-jumped process.

Alston confirmed he has indeed made repeated attempts at imploring Wade to cut off all communication with his family stemming back to Oct.5, to no avail.



Alleged high pressure recruiting tactics and obsessive-like behavior have been major red flags through the process of Rafer Alston's dealings with Wade, according to the former Houston Rockets guard.

Incensed, Alston illustrated that he would be taking legal action on the matter.

Alston added that his attorneys have been in contact with the NCAA regarding what he depicted as murky, bush league tactics of this particular recruitment.

Make no mistake about it, Wade has established himself as one of the country's elite and consistently tireless recruiters.

So I think the guy who wrote the substack works for rivals.

Either way, Rafer Alston does not like Wade.

Why is his wife taking money without him knowing tho?

I'm pretty sure this story started on a kentucky basketball blog site. 247 just ran with it. Sounds fake and gay to me

Maybe because she's her own person and isn't "owned" by Rafer.

Also, isn't Reece 18? If so, in the United States of America does Reece need Daddy's permission to enter into a LEGITIMATE contract?

One thing I know for a fact is that I shook Johnny's hand and fist bumped Reece at the Clemson game on opening weekend. The kid was all smiles and having the time of his life.

TeamLSU knows the family well and said it’s a real article and he spoke to Rafer about it.
