Made a strong arse offer.

Everyone did that. The mistake he made was getting taped talking to these shady characters directly rather than through intermediaries like people like Saban would have done.

No. It was Naz Reid. Amazing how long a lie that fits peoples' narratives will last.


The actual allegation:


quote:

Wade agreed to send money to , the former fiancée of former student- athlete , to keep quiet about Wade’s payments to student-athletes. The communications between and Wade exist as text messages on Wade’s cell phone. Specifically, on July 25, 2017, sent a text to Wade, “I know you also gave money to some of your new recruits. . .” On July 26, 2017, sent Wade another text, “. . . my trainer I use to work with has talked to a few ppl in the basketball world & have offered me money to talk. Pls contact me by the end of the day or I will have to take them up on the offer.” Wade’s reply to these text messages was, “Call me.” On July 27, 2017,
sent another text, “I need 5 more to put a down payment on a car. Put it in the same account.” On July 28, 2017, continued, “Send 9 to this account (my mon’s [sic] ... you’ve done your part now I have to do mine and make sure this doesn’t get out.” On July 31, 2017, sent another text, “Wade it’s . Did you get my message?” Wade replied the same day, “Yes I did. I thought we were done.” replied, “I told you when I went back to the dealership he told me I had to put more money down because of my credit. We will be done w everything after this...” Wade replied the following day on August 1, 2017,“I’m sorry you are having money issues. You said we were done after the last transfer I sent, so in my mind we are done.” The timing of this exchange between and Wade coincides with the inducements offered by Wade to secure
’s commitment (Allegation No. 4).


It is alleged in July of 2017 he sent money the ex of a FORMER player. Reid did not enroll until the 2018-2019 school year.

The woman knew (apparently through contacts) that he was recruiting a player (presumably Reid) and used that information to leverage money out of Wade to keep quiet about his recruitment of former and new players. The allegation states the timing of the alleged transfers to the woman, July of 2017, coincided with the timing of offers to the new player.

Somehow, wade has his fanboys and it’s pathetic.

College basketball is about as corrupt as it gets. AAU is littered with coaches who essentially work as agents for players.
Even the leagues are run by corrupt people who are on the take.

College coaches know the drill and most guys with sense know how to avoid getting caught.
Wade is a penny arse coach who isn’t savvy enough to avoid getting caught. He got caught on tape saying some incriminating stuff and then they got him with text messages to kids talking about paying them! Then he had a checking account that HE was using to give players money! My god it doesn’t get any stupider! And this is just what we know about. You can get the ncaa has other evidence that they could have hit us with. We fell on our sword. We got a new AD and fired wade as it should be.

I’ll never hold Wade in high regard
The guy is an idiot.

He set this program back years.

You think the program was set BACK from where Wade inherited it?

We went 10-21 in Johnny Jones last year. 2 and fricking 16 in conference. And Wade set us back? Are you out of your mind?
