Nothing on Hurd that I have seen beyond having lunch with Dawkins and the other guys.

Quote:On Dawkins' ASM expense report detailing expenditures from July 25 to Aug. 29, 2016, he listed a $230.16 expense for a meeting at a Doubletree Hotel with Norton Hurd, Jeff Jones and Shannon Forman

Side note: Yahoo doing work. Are they the last true hard hitting journalists?
feels weird posting "Yahoo" and "hard hitting journalist" in the same post

Well, they can be hard hitting because they aren't invested in the NCAA like ESPN and CBS are.

I don't think so.

Our Shannon Forman was from Baton Rouge, so makes sense it would be him.

Here it is:

"A Baton Rouge product himself, Forman's Twitter account is rife with references to Smart's performance this season at LSU. A 247Sports story from April 2017 mentions Forman as Smart's trainer, and notes that Forman played collegiately at Memphis for John Calipari. The story predicts that Smart "may be Kentucky's safest bet in the 2018 class."

So Calipari was bidding against Wade for Smart. No wonder Will Wade was getting frustrated.

Great. That’s all the NCAA will need to hit Memphis with some more strict liability nonsense.
