Adidas, Kansas and NC State in the news
- Thread starter RU-Choppin-Ohio
- Start date
I guess Adidas had enough money to pay for more than just new uniforms every year. Kansas probably thinks their OK because Preston did not play however it appears a second player was involved as well.
Maryland/Under Armour now roped in without being specifically named.

Waiting for NCAA to do anyhting, but have a feeling I'll continue to wait.

This is the 2nd time Maryland has been talked about in connection to this investigation
What were the details of the first time? Or was that the Yahoo report of the list of players receiving monetary benefits from the one agent?
I think it was the Yahoo! story. It had nothing to do with the kids recruitment it was about the kid receiving $14,000, while he was a college student, from an agent in the hopes that he wood sign with that agent when he decided to go pro. I don't think the kid signed with that agent.
The first time was Diamond Stone having a $14K payment deposited into his account by a ASM agent. This time it seems to suggest that a top recruit that everyone figured was a lock to Maryland for quite some time suddenly committed to Kansas after having been paid. I say a lot of bad things about Turgeon as a coach, but the man isn’t a cheater. He’s just not that guy.
And if he was cheating, then he’s bad at that, too. Any coach that’s involved in this FBI craziness and only musters a record of 138–67, 61–45 ACC/B1G and three NCAA appearances (one Sweet 16) in seven seasons should have have the book thrown at him...twice.
Methinks it does not directly involve a coach at Maryland. Most likely a shoe company-to-someone associated with the kid.
