Potential Violation for Memphis B-Ball?

[govolsman]

Didn't see any threads on this, and didn't really know if I should start a thread about it. But thought it was interesting since it involved Memphis. Dont know if its really a big deal, but would definitely help the Tigers in their recruitment of a top 10 player out of Washington.

The recruiting class that Memphis fans said would be one of the best ever is going down in shambles now. Wall committed to Baylor earlier today, and their recruitment of Gaddy is likely done if this goes through.

Yeah, God forbid they only get Xavier Henry and any of the 5 other point guards they've looked at. I'm sure Cal is crushed.

Now its going to be even harder to entice players to come lose to the Big Orange

Maybe he should be concerned. Any time the NCAA comes knocking at your door you should be. Not saying they have others violations, but you never know, especially when it comes to boosters.

The 'AA will make a couple of phone calls, then issue a stern "Don't do that again." Their investigators will never set foot in Memphis.

Baylor?? Really?

Wall's travel team coach was hired by Baylor. I read in an article that other schools also pursued the package deal.

It warms my heart to see Travis Ford get outflanked.

Bingo. I think worst case is they can't recruit the kid anymore.

I did hear that Cal "urged" Dave Bronczek (the booster in question) not to make the call. Not sure of the truthfulness of that though.

I don't think they'll even get that penalty.

The violation is so minor and plausibly accidental that I really doubt anything will really come of this. It is a non-issue.

Yeah it looks like that issue really hurt Cal's recruitment program..Will Coleman A 6-9 265lbs. freak from the MIA signed with the 09 class yesterday.
