Alleging $100k to Brian Bowen's family for him to go to L'Ville?
Unless this thing falls apart in weeks - which considering they've been working on the entire operation since 2015 is very unlikely - I don't see how he could ever play a game of college ball.
Perhaps a good thing he didn't end up at DePaul?

I just love that Chuck Person's middle name is Connors.
Priceless.

Who is the University of Miami '18 target in the same complaint as the UofL allegations?

Perhaps a good thing he didn't end up at DePaul? Hillarious. In the blue ribbon preview on Ville there was a blurb about how he ended up at Ville. It basically said his fam contacted the school and asked if Pitino wanted him. Looked fishy then, looks fishier now.. Incredible

Might explain why it took so long for him to decide with many schools coming and going...looking for the highest bidder?

Looked fishy then, looks fishier now.. Incredible Pitino quoted saying "we didn't pay anything" for the kid - I guess Adidas picked up the hookers this time around.

Just checked. . .the following Power 5 conference schools/teams have deals with Adidas:
ACC: Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami and North Carolina State;
Big Ten: Indiana, Nebraska and Rutgers;
SEC: Mississippi State and Texas A&M;
Big 12: Kansas; and
Pacific 12: Arizona State.
Big East? None.
The indicted coaches work at four non-Adidas affiliated schools (Arizona, Auburn, Oklahoma State and Southern Cal).

If the allegations are true, Louisville paid 100K for a recruit (Brian Bowen). You can kiss Pitino and the basketball program at UoL goodbye.

You can almost guarantee now that Moses Brown is committing to MD.
