LSU brought this guy in when they were clearing Smart and he didn’t talk. It’s a dead end. But way to make it seem like breaking news Yahoo

Documents viewed by Yahoo Sports show a link between Forman and Christian Dawkins


A link? What link? Do they both shop on Amazon? This is the kind of vague bullshite Yahoo throws out for clicks.

From today's press conference:

quote:

Q. Wondering how much you know about Shannon Foreman. He's guy in Baton Rouge, a mentor in Javonte's life. How much is he around your program and what do you know about him mentoring kids in the area?
COACH BENFORD: I've met Shannon. He's been, I don't know as far as mentoring. I know he's got a relationship with Javonte. That's all I know.

Same story. Now we just know who Smart's AAU coach was.

Yahoo is still trying. But they have not come up with a smoking gun linking Smart to money funneled by LSU. And Smart's mentor already testified to the NCAA last week and gave nothing up.

This actually good news. If Shannon says Wade never made me any offer, then it should be end of story, unless the NCAA can prove otherwise. NCAA would have a tough time with that because it has no subpoena power and no ability to make this this individual cooperate with any investigation.

Exactly, LSU said they identified the handler before the SEC Tournament. Presumably they interviewed him and got nothing or he refused to talk to LSU/NCAA (because he has no obligation to do so).

The fact that Smart played tends to show he talked to LSU/NCAA and they found nothing improper.

Also the article states that Forman was involved with a Houston team that was usually a reliable pipeline to Kentucky. Me thinks someone is pissed that Wade shutoff the spigot.

Just wait until the day before we play Duke and they drop the names of the cell phone companies each person used. That'll really show us.

Im pretty sure Shannon was one of the people interviewed by LSU/NCAA to clear smart for play. Not a chance in hell that guy is ratting himself out to the ncaa

Note to casual basketball fans...every AAU coach is a middle man between recruiters and players.
