So what’s the big secret? Why not share with the rest of the Tiger family. In the absence of truth, on a message board, it’s only speculation.
Its not my place to tell and if I did the person who tells me this kind of stuff would probably stop. So without detail I will lay it out here just like this....
Penny loves the boys, he has been around them their whole lives.
Penny and Keelon get a long very well.
Mom likes to be in charge and tends to dictate to those around her.
Very well said.
Seems like two very conflicting stories in this very thread.

There is one story which is true about Keelon and Penny relationship and the other which is better to believe because it keeps up that negative which people like so much.

RE: The final Lawson
So, would Mom say that monies over the years to the Lawson family and to Dedric, KJ, and Chnadler in general is recruiting violation or no?

Well, for one thing, Penny wouldn't have to hire Keelon to get JLawson. Penny could take care of Keelon out of his tip money.

I would guess that hiring Keelon would be the ONLY way it would not be a recruiting violation, even then, I am unsure.

RE: The final Lawson
This isn’t hard. He’s not being recruited by Penny because we JUST saw what happens when MEMPHIS lands 5 star local kids who have played for him previously. Hello NCAA. You have to know how the game works, especially AAU. Lots of money is transferred to parents, handlers, “guardians”, coaches, to get kids to go certain places. As was already pointed out, if you think the “moving expense” bill was bad.... This is a family who has not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 legit high level D1 basketball prospects in KJ, Dedric, Chandler, Johnathan. All who have played for Penny.
We just can’t go there. Penny did himself no favors with all the brashness. The spotlight is on us.

Yeah yeah...AAU is dirty...
But Penny has known this kid since before he was 10.
This situation is something that would be no different if he game money to Alo in the past.

Ok...3 Stories (I was omitting the rumor based reports)
Yours...Which seems most feasible
A Second where the Mom is some some dictator
And the third...which is just a compilation of rumors and vague media reports.

RE: The final Lawson
I mean, the family has done enough in public/media for people to be able to observe and come to conclusions. Some are close to the family, so they tend to see things through that lens.

So if Penny was still at East, Keelon wouldn't have gotten back into HS coaching? Because that's just not true, according to everything Keelon said in public leading up to his hiring. So the other option you're offering is that the boys would have played for Penny instead of daddy. Hard to believe that one either.

There is that, for some reason I thought he wasn't.
And I know this is me being petty...But I don't care if Junior had Jalen Green skills...He still shouldn't be on scholarship.
I wouldn't call that petty, I'd call that down right stupid.
So you would use a scholarship when he can walkon and you could pay his way and use the scholarship on another player...
See that is where I stand...If you can get an extra player on scholarship by paying for your son...You do it. It is advantage that should be exploited.
Don't they have one open schollie this year? So there is really no opportunity cost.

Keelon was offered 2 high school jobs before he took Wooddale and he turned them down because the boys were at East and he thought Penny was going to be there. If he wanted, he just could have took one of those jobs right? Because it was there for the taking but he didn't. The only reason he took Wooddale was because Penny left East. I'm not telling you here say, I'm telling you what I know for sure, 100 percent.

People love to speak on what they don't know. That's a great family, mom is a great person, just like anyone else. She loves her children and will go to battle about them. If you call that a "factor" I guess your right.
