Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 282964, member: 237"] Albany-cuse thank you for sharing what information you have heard. Some seem to struggle differentiating with rumor spreading vs being so kind to share information that most are not privileged too. I am by no means someone with inside sources but I stumbled upon an interesting tidbit today via a co-worker. I have a co-worker whose nephew is currently a highly recruited prospect and who is currently a jr. We started talking college hoops and this nephew is hooked up with a "friend of the family" who has been around the aau circuit/agent business etc etc for quite a few years now ever since he became a local phenom. My co-worker only brought it up because he saw the kentucky article about noel and how he had a handler. According to the co-worker the nephew visited UK, one of his long list of potential schools and during his visit was advised that due to this "handler" there would be potential challenges with being eligible via the NCAA... also during the visit the nephew was advised that UK would still be a good option if he had pro aspirations as coach cal has very good connections and good assist him to realize his professional goals and be around the best players in the country even if he couldn't play. The conversation then tailed into how cal has an interesting angle and then on to what other schools he visited... although the UK story was the only trip my co-worker brought up. The co-worker is very close to his brother and has a good relationship with his nephew so I would not find any reason to believe he isn't being honest. The interesting thing here is .. could that have been part of the sales pitch to noel? Was it clear the NCAA would have issues with driscoll and his eligibility a major issue? Therefore driving the re-classification and potential sit one year at UK or go to europe ? I just found this bit really interesting and disturbing much the same... with Cal. If he lets the NCAA take care of the screening and stays hands off .. but sells his status with the professional world.. thats definitely an advantage.. and one that has nothing to do with UK... if he should get his way that players would be paid and insurance covered.. its like the equivalent of a drug dealer with 20 acres of weed just needing the legal stamp to reap insane profits.. Does this fall in line with anything anyone else has heard.. I just wanted to share as I consider the information legitimate as there would be no reason for my co-worker to lie about something like this. [/QUOTE]
