Former Purdue recruit at one time (and former UofL commit before switching to OSU) has confirmed that he was given a "show" by escorts on his UofL visit. WOW!
OT: JaQuan Lyle
- Thread starter UKboiler23
- Start date
I want to be on a Louisville recruiting visit for just one night.
Hence the "former" recruit. Probably would be shocking to find out how many kids shop or colleges just straight up cheat to get players.
Death penalty to the more serious violators would tidy things up a bit.
Has Purdue's BB program ever been on probation or at least somewhat serious violation?
Thanks,
troll alert
not sure of any penatlies/probation. It is my understanding that the NCAA did find a 5k loan made to Luther Clay in the mid-90's (by a banker in Lafayette) with Luther under the impression it did not have to be repaid. And a couple car rides in the rain to Jamal Davis (iirc) around the same time - which were against NCAA rules.
Lyle was a former recruit for a lot of reasons. They have been on probation but by today's standards probably wouldn't be.
Not a troll or stiring the pot. I assumed Purdue had a clean program as most people do.
That probation was a sore subject. If you read the charges they were things like a local banker giving Luther Clay a loan and an MSU Alum giving a player's mom a ride to a home game. It never seemed to add up. That was really the beginning of the end for Keady. His recruiting was never as strong after that ruling.
I remember hearing Dan Dakich basically admit on his radio show awhile back (he was acting out what would happen if Bob Knight would be a guest on his show) that IU cheated to get Calbert Cheaney to pick IU over his hometown Evansville Aces.
don't know about that...may be true. Calbert's high school coach came up to watch a holiday tourney and see my nephew play as Jerald was the JV coach under my nephew's father almost a decade earlier. Still remember him wanting to share an out of bounds play under basket on the napkin.
He told us about Calbert then as a sophomore. Jerald was a Purdue grad, but a fan of Knight as well. Not sure of "all" the things, but Calbert for whatever reason never hit it off with Webber and told Jerald when he got in the car he wasn't going to Purdue. FWIW, up above when mention of Jamal Davis and Cameron Stephens...BOTH had long verballed to Purdue and Frank took them from Mackey where they were waiting for the rain to quit to the motel. The NCAA asked if he did it on a certain day and he denied taking them that day (he actually took them a different day) and that was that...
