[Frozen]

For tampering with a transfer, who I assume has the same Social Security number as Taurean Thompson.

Thank you Chris Mullin for letting us know.

I hope we don’t have to take him back now.

The bigger ramifications will be on the recruiting trail. The suspension is meaningless.

negative recruiting or scholarship loss? Or both

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I for one am shocked.

The former. He is despised by most coaches, this gives those coaches something to point to. It’s not a huge issue, but it won’t go unmentioned.

So if what Syracuse was guilty of was good for 3 lost scholarships for 4 years. This chit should be good for atleast 2 lost scholarships for 2 years.
Tampering is worse than anything we did either.

Tampering with transfers is believed to be widespread in college basketball, but penalties seldom are assessed because it’s hard to prove and aggrieved coaches rarely push the issue.


Hmmm. Just like paying recruits....believed to be wide spread but penalties are rarely assessed because its hard to prove and the NCAA rarely pushes the issue.

He's as slimy as his mentor Ricky. I root hard against him.

Two games, big whoop. Maybe something else will come down the pipe

NY Post headline, It takes 2 to tamper?

If this is the penalty than we’re not tampering nearly enough.

Just saw this. The asbury Park press reporter says it’s Thompson. I’m glad they’re finally getting in trouble for this. But what took so long?

The investigation is still ongoing. I hope Willard and SH gets further sanctions.

What does Chris Mullin have to do with this? Thompson’s mom approached his staff too and he let JB know?

Correct. Mullin called JB and said Thompson was sniffing around St Johns.

Mullin is a good dude and I know he has much respect for JB. Willard seems slimy. Is that his rep?
