He attended Oak Hill and took classes. He was homeschooled the previous year but played for Riverside Baptist or something like that. How homeschooled kids can sail through the Clearinghouse, regardless of their name, but Jones can't is beyond me.
especially if home schooled by beasleyâs momâŚthat should be the definition of academic inelgibility.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ZING!
I think it is a bit funny that Huggins pretended to be Bobbyâs friend then stuck it in his ear end. Will Coach Lutz be playing in Hugginâs golf tourney next year?
i wonder how i go about applying for a job on the ncaa clearinghouse committee.
Hope this isnât off topic too much,but just watching Memphis vs. Ga. Tech I couldnât help but wonder why Memphis seems to get a steady stream of athletic recruits,many more than us. I hate Calipari as much as the next guy,but he outrecruits Bobby tenfold.Memphis doesnât have anything over Charlotte to sell,less in my opinion,but comparing our last few teams to theirsâŚainât no contest.A lotta posters say Bobbyâs doing a great job recruiting and is a very good gamecoachâŚiâm sorry,I just donât buy it. Now fire away!!
Big East caliber ball draws more recruits than A-10

Memphis cheats. Thatâs not sour grapes. Theyâre the ONLY non-BCS school in the country landing AAâs. They cheat to do it. Wish me luck proving it though.

Actually thereâs something going on with a kid Memphis had last year, Williams. A lawsuit was filed by an attorney to recoup something like 50K he or someone paid to Williams. Has anyone heard about this? Seriously, I saw it in The Sporting News the other day.

My mailbag question to Davis:
âConcerning Bobby Lutz and Charlotte: Mr. Davis, Bob Huggins âpoachedâ assistant Dalonte Hill from Charlotte. Care to explain whom exactly Bobby Lutz âpoachedâ Hill from?
First off, Beasley was 14 years old when Hill was hired by the Niners. Hill graduated from Charlotte. He played under Lutz for two years in a Niner uniform.
What reasons do the âslammersâ have for slamming Lutz? Because Bobby hired a man with recruiting contacts? Then letâs slam every college basketball coach in the nation!â

Iâm sure if Bobby gave a recruits dad a job, gave his best friend a schollie, then he could get recruits like that in here too. But that is stooooping low for one player. Also Iâm sure if Bobby were to hand a HS kid $50 gâs to committ to come here⌠Well you get the point.
This pretty much sums up Memphis recruiting:
[QUOTE][B]If the allegations are proven to be true, Memphis could face penalties including forfeiture of games from last season, in which the Tigers went 33-4 and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
Thatâs what happened to Tigersâ coach John Calipariâs 1996 Massachusetts team, which was forced to vacate its Final Four appearance after star Marcus Camby admitted taking money from an agent while at school. [/B]
La Mondue was seeking repayment of the money he allegedly gave Williams, who was the 17th overall pick in this yearâs NBA Draft. Williams plays for the Indiana Pacers.
âThis was the first time that we had heard of these allegations,â UofM athletic director R.C. Johnson said in a prepared statement. âThe University is investigating the situation, and will take all necessary action if these allegations are substantiated. We have also been in contact with the NCAA, and are working cooperatively with that organization to investigate these allegations. Right now, however, the University must emphasize that these are only allegations.â
Williams did not return a message left on his cell phone seeking comment.
La Mondue did not return phone messages left at his office. An administrative assistant at his law firm said he was in court Thursday and would not be available for comment.
Williamsâ agent, Happy Walters, said he had never heard of La Mondue and wasnât aware of any relationship between him and Williams.
âFrom what I understand, there wasnât a lot of merit to (the lawsuit), and itâs a guy who was a little bit bitter and slinging stuff out there,â Walters said. âI have not seen it, so I canât give you real details.â
Memphis coach John Calipari speaking after the teamâs victory over Jackson State on Thursday said he had never heard of La Mondue.
âFirst of all, the thing as was dismissed so I donât know exactly where it is,â Calipari said. âThe second thing, Iâd be surprised if there was anything to this. but it will be looked in to. I mean, this isnât just going to be passed by ⌠by it being dismissed I think it says a whole lot.â
The lawsuit included a signed affidavit and an itemized list of alleged payments to Williams, dating from March 25, 2004. Roughly one month earlier, Williams transferred from Hamilton High School to Laurinburg Prep in Laurinburg, N.C.
[B]The list of payments includes 57 Western Union transfers totaling $25,665.45, a cash payment of $5,000, and seven payments totaling $9,114.40 sent by express mail.
Also included on the list was $1,900.84 in airfare, $3,607 over three years in cell phone payments, a $2,349.24 payment to a Chicago hotel.[/B]

if beasley was coming here, and he was being investigated, you guys would be up in arms.

If we paid him $50,000 to come here, I donât think we would have much to complain about because we would be wrong. Plus, he would actually be coming here if we gave him that money (thank God we donât stoop to that).
We complain about kids getting cleared by the NCAA, not cheating.
Thereâs a disconnect. Or maybe youâre a secret Memphis fanâŚhmmâŚ
what does mempiss have to do with m beas?
and, iâm sure if you ask their fans, they will tell you how much I love their program.
i have been accused of being a closet UC fan, but I canât hate any school that has fans that buy me all the beer I want.
