Cal didn't give Davis the money. WWW did though and threw in shoe contract. Fact.

If they announce together that is not a good sign.

If that happens, you can pro-actively hang #9. Otherwise, it's gonna be a tough year without either.

Oh there is no doubt jones got benefits. You don't change your commitment that late right after your announcement ceremony to your home school just due to one phone call without something going down. Cal was desperate that year. Had he not gotten Jones they would have been dreadful in the front court and a bad team overall.

Absolutely. Jones family got a house.

You guys have proof? Because I know that you're barking down a trail that many a reporter has explored before.

It's so ignorant to believe these guys don't get benefits. And Jones is one d those guys. It was such an odd situation - you think one heartfelt speech from Cal made him turn his back on his home school were everyone wanted him to be? After he had just made his commitment and was about to sign? Lol.

It's happened with UT football players in the past many times - and it's happening every year at UK with Cal there. No point in denying it. The NCAA can't stop it.

Hell I'm pretty sure even average players at UT like Bobby Maze got illegal benefits while here.

I don't think Memphis has seriously considered Wilbut for a while now, and the feeling is probably mutual.

I think Wilbut goes to UVA.

That was my first thought. Iirc ShabaZz was gonna announce yesterday, but then when Noel's said he'd announce today ShabaZz moved his date to today as well.

Guess well find out soon enough.

If Cal manages to whiff on both players he may have to resort back to his pay for play days.

That being said, if they're both announcing today then I would feel pretty confident if I were a cat fan.
