while listening to my satellite radio, A Drake and Jay Z song comes on where Jay Z gives him a shout out. So this got me thinking this guy has pull everywhere , he's sort of a nomad so to speak leaving red flags behind wherever he touches ground. Although the song is a few months old and his shady past is no secret its incredible the impact he has all over the the spectrum. He's like one of the untouchables. I googled some quotes about him.
“He's an agent who cheats. He's a bag man.”

"I think he's a factor. He has unlimited access to kids and coaches -- and clearly makes it no secret of his allegiance to John Calipari."

“We have all become so sensitive to just him. There are more just like him, he just gets all of the attention.”
“Wes' presence is drastically overblown. His power is only perceived at best, and only because naïve/desperate coaches empower him. If he had any power, he would certainly be using it to the benefit of John Calipari and Kenny Payne, who he has known for 25 years. The fact that coaches are hiring him as an agent is laughable, and the fact that the NCAA does not treat him as an agent due to his close affiliation with Leon Rose is an absolute injustice!”

"Some people think he helps Cal with every kid, but I don't think that's true. He's involved. He has influence. He uses it. So he's a factor. But he's probably not a big factor with every kid ... at least I don't think he is."

“He's factor. I mean, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, man. That's a big fish. Even if he's the only one in a particular year.”
 
Just last year, Dakari Johnson loves SU and Kentucky. States he will decide in the spring. WWW goes to see one of his game in the fall. I think it was just a day or two later, Dakari Johnson to UK.
 
It's funny how World Wide Wes is more controversial than real life verified scum like Mark Adams or the Pump brothers who the average college basketball fan has no clue about.

Tell me again the specifics behind William Wesley being such a bad guy.

I am not sure he is a "bad guy". But, his influence, whether it be money or promises, creates an unfair advantage for that school or those schools of which he chooses to feed kids.

Not in any way defending Wes but Dakari's reclassification took us out of the running.

Exactly. Bumped his announcement up the very next day, then announced the day after. WWW picks Dakari's school for him and it's not a mystery or conspiracy as to how.
