I read that and laughed too. Let the spin cycle begin.

i hope they nail them all to the wall and do the wall dance. What goes around comes around.

They're all claiming the same thing we did. "The NCAA cleared him, it'll be fine."

the HAMMER IS COMING TO LEXINGTON. IT WILL FALL.

I hope that after cal has had three seasons vacated, the NCAA bans him from coaching. I think that would be about right.

Anybody think that Calipari was hoping like hail that this news wouldn't break until after July1?

He's probably packing up the sno-cone machine right now.

Quote:A college coach who recruited Bledsoe said that Ford explicitly told his coaching staff that he needed a specific amount of money to let Bledsoe sign with that university. The coach, who did not want to be named out of fear of repercussions when recruiting in Birmingham, said Ford told him and his staff that he was asking for money because he was helping pay rent for Bledsoe and his mother. Ford denied this, saying, “I don’t prostitute my kids.”

Any chance this came from our staff?

All i can say is and

Heh.

We're already on probation. I doubt Pastner would have risked it with probation, and at his first HC job.

My thoughts exactly.

All I can say is - couldn't happen to a better guy (or a better group of people for that matter) !!!!!!!!!

Would that make him ineligible? No way he took the ACT/SAT on his own if you ask me after whats being reported. I guess since it was on the high school level - it wouldn't effect him or Kentucky. I sure would would like to see this come to light and they have to forfeit their wins and $$$ from their somewhat short NCAA run.

this could have been us.


another bullet dodged, i guess…

How crappy is this going to feel if UK gets away with using an ineligible player?

Also, this would have really hurt if we had gotten him...

Didn't someone mention before that he was driving a nice car or suv in Lexington? I wonder who was paying for that? I think the more investigating the NCAA does the more they will find. I'm glad x is gone but boy did he blow it by leaving Memphis. He and his family didn't have to deal with such scrutiny and an irrational fan base as Kentucky's. I can't help but remember Bledsoe's press conference the day he committed to Uk, compared to his basketball prowess his intelligence, and speaking ability was way down the scale. In hindsight, thank goodness he didn't go to Memphis.

Quote:I wondered over the Memphis Rivals boards to see if this had come up over there, but there was nothing.

Then I realized there had only been one post there today. laugh
Guess they roll up the sidewalks when bball season is over.
