Member how those horrible lacrosse players raped that woman?
Member how that arrogant white boy taunted the Native American and wouldn’t let him walk away?
Member those 2 nasty MAGA guys who attacked Jussie?
“Journalists” have developed a terrible habit of reporting what they’re told without digging deeper. Sometimes context is lost. Sometimes people just lie.
Until we have the full recording or transcripts we don’t know anything.

the transcribed wiretap that was provided to yahoo is accurate.
two people had that exact conversation.
too bad yahoo never got to hear the voices.

I'm no lawyer, but the part where he says "this Smart rhibg." Why is the S capitalised in smart? How do they know in context that's what he was referring to?

No mattwr if smart was the guy or not..wade made the offer expecting it to get a commitment
That is a violation
That is a violation

Coaches “offer” kids scholarships all the time to get commitments
It’s not a violation
You don’t know what the offer was anymore than I do

Could be wrong but I thought was 'the smart kid' or 'that smart kid.'
Either way, your point is valid.
We don't even know if smart is a proper noun in this instance.

when dirty mofo's can't get someone to roll around in the mud with them, they pick it up and throw it at them.
think about this---------
why would someone need to turn a witness into a liar.

From what I've seen no discussion of actual offer only discussions of a potential offer probably with a middleman. Is this a violation?
Posted on 3/16/19 at 12:36 am to MustWin
The offer could have been the possible number of guaranteed mins of playing time. Weather Smart would start or not no one knows but it's possible.

On what planet would Wade want to work for his current boss and Admin again?

According to the statement that LSU released yesterday. I forget the exact phrasing, but discussing any type of payment or extras or some thing of that nature.
Ok, then tell me, what exactly was the benefit or extra being referred to? Once again, there was nothing specific mentioned, and he could have been talking about anything.

We have zero hard evidence of any "offer" other than scholarship, and Wade can say he was pushing the idea of playing time or starting.
That, plus being within a 20 minute drive from home, would "benefit" the player and his mom.
The middleman could have been a shoe rep, and Wade chose to simply "stay with Nike", instead of endorse something more aggressive- such as uniform revamps or things like that.
Sounds naive, but it's feasible. What proof does anyone have otherwise?
So how do you explain the refusal to meet?- Well, it wasn't a unanimous vote to suspend; maybe he has someone on the inside who warned him that he was being called in to be terminated in the current scandal. If so, he has the "I have to testify" card and played it, hoping to delay the action until the mood changes, and save his job- or at least, his reputation and career.
We JUST don't know. And until we do, it's all speculation.

Discussing what? How do you or anyone else know what that offer was? What if they were haggling over playing time or Smart wanted a guaranteed starting spot? Can you or anyone else say that wasn't the offer?
Shoot, Wade could have been offering Smart a certain jersey number or locker assignment!

Discussing an offer for a recruit is a violation?
Apparently its a flexible rule to be applied only to selected universities. Its OK if Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina are in the discussion. Otherwise, scorch their arse.
How many of the Kentucky players that we saw play last evening do you think have had no discussion of an "offer".

I'm with you on this 100%. I was only repeating what was said. I have no idea what the exact violation would even be because I think it was all very vague.

It probably would be a good idea to stop doing this.

Therefore anything other than the word offer is hearsay & scholarships get offered all the time
Anything captured on tape by WW is not hearsay. It would be an admission.
Go back and read the transcript. He offered the handler a piece of the pie. Explain how exactly the handler gets a piece of a scholarship.
Anyone reading those transcripts and not concluding that he was offering something —- cash, assets, something of value —- to the mom and handler to get Smart to sign is simply using P&G glasses to deny what happened.

I guess you’re unfamiliar with the concept of “plausible deniability”...
