This FBI investigation making any Gamecocks nervous?

[trkykilr]

With all of the accusations of Clemson cheating, wouldn't it be ironic if South Carolina's Final 4 run was bought? In the FBI indictment released yesterday, South Carolina and PJ Dozier are clearly discussed in relation to Lamont Evans.

College Basketball recruiting is a dirty game, and yesterday was a good day to be a pretty shitty basketball school.

Looks like Clemson is involved too according to WYFF this morning

MMMM nope. Merl Code, and ex Clemson player, is heavily involved due to his affiliation with Adidas

You just misunderstood the article.

Should happen this morning.

[PharmHunter]

To answer your original question, No.

[Moonlight Hunter]

The way the Feds have positioned their investigation actually shelters the member institutions a little bit. They have painted these assistant coaches as rogue. This is probably an accurate description. If any players did take money, though, then the NCAA has grounds to bring the hammer down. Louisville and Miami are in deep doodoo.

The tentacles already have reached some of biggest names in the sport including an assistant for the preseason No. 1 team in Arizona, a Louisville prospect’s recruitment and an assistant who helped build the roster South Carolina took to the Final Four last season....USA TODAY

I was in school with Code, Dale Davis and Eldin Campbell. My roommate at the time tutored all three. Those guys all had new computers they couldn't even turn on much less use, closets full of designer clothes and enough swag to furnish a pawn shop. None of them could do basic math or read a lick. Code must have learned to read and do math after he got out of school.

The common theme that I heard yesterday on national sports talk was that the NCAA had no knowledge of this investigation. My guess is that the NCAA may have asked the feds for this help because they didn't have the resources to stop what was going on in college basketball.

When you have a "one and done player", an agent can pay him $200k, and recoup their investment in 7 months. With a football player, they cannot be drafted for 3 years, which makes it a longer term investment.

Can you imagine the agents, runners, and coaches trying to get a piece of Zion Williamson? The kid is already famous nationally. My guess is that this news is exactly what Clemson needs to have a legit shot with him.

I didn't read the article I heard it on the TV this morning. I still could have misunderstood but I'm pretty sure the lady never mentioned the addidas part turkeykilla mentioned.

But according to my wife I don't listen so who knows

Your football's success is skewing your rational thought process. He ain't playing basketball for Clemson.

If he does, THAT should warrant an investigation.


This coming from a lifelong Clemson fan.

They were selling more weed than Pablo Escobar, or at least Easy E was...

[quack head 11]

So without reading up on this, what warrants the FBI being involved in this versus other allegations like in football?

Dont think I ever remember the FBI being involved

Thank you. They dont understand that a top 5 player in the nation with the ability to play for Kansas, Duke or UNC as a freshman... aint going to Clemzzon.
