Not a good look at all. Regardless of if sanctions come down. Dude flat out lied.

quote:

Less than a week after a jury in federal court found three men guilty on felony charges in connection to pay-for-play schemes in college basketball, ESPN analyzed the phone records of Christian Dawkins — one of the defendants — and found multiple calls in connection to LSU basketball coach Will Wade.

According to the records, there were three calls between Dawkins and a cellphone belonging to Wade. Those calls occurred between June 19, 2017 and June 30, 2017.


quote:

Koprivica received an offer from LSU on June 21, 2017 — during the timeframe Dawkins and Wade exchanged phone calls.


quote:

LSU officials told ESPN that Wade’s phone records didn’t reflect calls with either one of Dawkins' numbers, but according to Dawkins' records, the number connected to Wade has a Richmond, Virginia-based area code.


quote:

Wade wasn’t the only one implicated in ESPN’s report. Cellphone numbers belonging to Arizona’s Sean Miller and Creighton’s Greg McDermott made at least 13 calls and nine calls, respectively, to Dawkins.

While it may not look good, there's still nothing there. Let's be honest, college basketball at the elite level is about as shady as any college sport behind Bama football.

I don't care how dirty it looks, the dude is doing the same thing as everybody else.

We need to win. Can't we just have an awesome basketball team? Is that too much to ask?

Did the guy they are talking about sign or commit to LSU? No.

How did he lie again? He said he didn't do business with Dawkins, not that he's never talked to him. What does any of that prove?

Wade's going to end up getting fired.

And LSU didn't even land the player or players being mentioned.
ESPN trying to make a story out of nothing.
Pearl still has a job.
Miller at Arizona still has a job.
Duke landed the players that had his hand out, he still has a job.
UNC landed the players that had his hand out, he still has a job.
The Kansas coach is still employed and has landed players.

I think much of this has already been reported.

The reported conversation to Dawkins does not seem illegal or an NCAA violation.

If Wade did not make, approve, or know of any actual deals, I think we're okay.

It does not look good, and it may make the NCAA give Wade and LSU more scrutiny.

Come on, now. It's not like we have a knee-jerk AD who makes rash decisions without all the facts.

Oh wait....

no he isn't. Of the shite that came out during that trial, LSU was the most minor.
