It's a violation, but only for non-protected schools. What happened to UCLA when Lonzo Ball came out publicly and said he got paid to play there immediately after declaring for the draft?  Nothing. Crickets.

Some MAC school will probably get in big trouble over it.

All of my thoughts on this subject are my own, not any inside knowledge. I just know that people are not happy with how close Sam Alford is getting to the family like visiting them more than once at their house. Whether they are a close second or just second they have moved past MSU in a shorter amount of time. I think most people on all IU boards thought he would have been committed to IU by now. Hopefully, next week is the week or at least he goes as an IU basketball player for Halloween on the 31st.

Depends on who you talk to whether they have passed MSU for second. Some national scouts still claim UCLA is in 3rd. Personally since the beginning of last season I’ve always felt the only 2 possible choices were IU or if the family moved to California it would be UCLA. In my opinion TJD will be playing college at the closest one to where is family is

Pretty sure Bill Walton has said multiple times during games he's broadcasted that guys were getting paid left and right while he was there. Again, nothing but crickets.

I hope next week or the end of the month. If this drags on he might be a Bruin...or at least until March when Alford gets fired. 

So...are we reaching the "if it was IU, he would have already announced/doesn't want an angry mob of IU fans following him around and booing him at all his games this season" stage?

Michigan State May get Isaiah Stewart (despite what optimists here think, Stewart and TJD won’t want to play together). Alford isn’t going to survive the season. Process of elimination = TJD to IU.

And soon -- if not already -- we'll be at the "If he doesn't go to IU, whoever gets him is cheating/dirty/morally bankrupt/corrupt" stage!

I seem to remember Kareem saying that had Sam Gilbert not "taken care" of him, he never would've gone to UCLA.

Well, there's a pretty big federal investigation that's been taking place for over a year now featuring payments to college basketball players, some of which we recruited and failed to land, sooo...

How can this not be a violation?  NCAA rules are a joke.

Remember Moses Abraham? He came to IU on an official and all the word leaking was that he wanted to commit on his visit, but his parents convinced him to wait until a couple days after he got home. Georgetown was the main competition, and the story went that John Thompson, Sr. (long retired at that point) was waiting at the airport when Abraham got back from IU. 

Seems crazy that a coach’s father can recruit for him.

I didn’t have time to engage on Scout, but I occasionally lurked there and the Abraham thread was a classic.

Have y'all considered the possibility that IU just isn't that intriguing to recruits because how much pressure we put on our incoming recruits? We always peg these guys as the "Next ... (Insert blank)" but in relality these guys are above average highschool basketball players. It isn't common to find a class like we did in 2013. We should have won it all.

I'm sorry, but that exists anywhere if not everywhere.

There are some getting anxious or nervous about UCLA and aggravated he hasn't announced yet. I agree with his post

I agree. I went to Illinois Loyalty after the +200 recruits signed and some in that fan base were comparing them to some of the very good players that went through that program.
