The vultures are already beginning to circle...
UConn must feel they're out of the Carey sweepstakes.
Somewhat surprised to see Nova and UVA on that list. Do they really want--or need?--to drink from this well? Some other respectable programs on here too though. Just shows you what risks people will tolerate for a pot o' gold.
Agree...if the new school has nothing to hide, there really is not a huge risk for them, other then spending the time to recruit a player that may end up being ruled ineligible.Dumb question, but other than losing a player, is there really a huge risk? Assuming the player got money from UL, wouldn't all the dirty be on UL and not the school that took a chance?
If he took money or other benefits (maybe his family got a nice week vacation, were flown across the country for a concert, NBA game, etc), he could be declared ineligible. If you recruit and sign a kid and plan on him being your PG, then he's declared ineligible 2 weeks before the season starts, good luck.Dumb question, but other than losing a player, is there really a huge risk?

Unless you're Kentucky and you always have Plan B, Quade.
Yup, they'll start going through your closet, making phone calls into your assistant coaches, making visits to your campus. They're like termites.Plus, as the NCAA starts trying to look less irrelevant, they will need to conduct their own investigation and try to get some low hanging fruit. These players that possibly took money and then de-committed would be an easy first target. So you are inviting the NCAA to start poking around your program if you take one of these guys.

However I do assume that most of these programs did their homework and wouldn’t have made contact if they didn’t feel comfortable with it.That was my thought as well, and EastCoast makes a good point above too. Bring a kid like that on board and you're inviting extra scrutiny.

Agreed. I don’t think we need to pursue either.You'd hope so, for their sakes. Just glad SU is steering clear, at least for now.
