@RandomTwitterProfile can say whatever he/she wants. I'll believe it when I see it

What's funny is he is a high school kid that retweets all things NBA and Lamelo Ball and Romeo Langford news. This kid needs a friend.

An interesting (but VERY long) compilation of the many questionable activities to occur with the KU MBB program since one Bill Self has taken over the program. Several things bring his possible sleaziness into the light, while other issues are more on the players. However players with such issues are often recruited by Self, which says enough on its own. The post breaks the timeline of events down by year and was gathered by a poster on a Michigan board. Again, it's long. But there are interesting points from the beginning.

Dallas School District re-opens case regarding Arthur not really being a college eligible player. Winston Ashmore, Arthur’s Math teacher said when Arthur was failing Algebra I as a freshman in the fall of 2002, his coach asked for leniency. Ashmore said when he refused, Arthur was abruptly moved to another class. A closer examination of Arthur's grades reveal that his English III grades of 75, 60, 70 and 65 don't actually add up to a 70 as is reflected on his transcript. In fact, the average should be 67.5, meaning he should have failed the course that is needed to graduate and qualify as an NCAA student athlete. "Like I said, he [Arthur] just kind of checked out that third six weeks," Yourse, his English teacher said. Melanie Kidd was Arthur's theater arts teacher in the fall of 2004. She said she remembers Arthur failed the course during the final six weeks. Arthur made a grade of 50, she said. According to his transcripts, Arthur's grades for the last six weeks of theater arts are also missing. A block of grades from Arthur's Algebra II were also missing on the transcript from the fall semester of 2005. All that is present is a final grade, which was changed from "failing" to a passing grade of 70 nine months later in September the following year.

 

Confirmation comes in the Darell Arthur case, that his grades were artificially changed and that his ‘graduation’ from high school wasn’t legit. His high school vacates their state championship for using ineligible players. Per NCAA rules the use of an ineligible player resulting from him violating the NCAA ethics clause, the proper application would result in forfeiture of all games participated, and KU would fall to 0-78 for the prior to years – the worst two year record in the history of NCAA basketball. Additionally Self would fall behind James Naismith for last place all time in winning % at ku with a 0.428. However, despite the school district and the local media already completing the legwork of the investigation and compiling the relevant information the NCAA never looks into the instance and instead forces Memphis to vacate all their wins during the same year for the same offense.

 

Sickening.

I always thought Kansas was above Kentucky and UNC. I guess not

Wasn't Tyshawn Taylor a FCTC commit at Marquette before he took the job here?

[mdn82 26,344]

Wow never heard that one before.

One question I have is if Zion Williamson commits to KU, how will that affect romeo's interest there if at all. When zion visited Kansas a few days ago the students chanted his name as he walked in and kansas is favored to get him on CB

I honestly don't know. Maybe some of the more tenured members on the board could shed some light on that one.

He was. 

 

"Taylor, who led St. Anthony to a 32-0 record and USA Today's mythical national championship, recently was released from his letter-of-intent with Marquette after coach Tom Crean bolted the Milwaukee school for Indiana."

Thank you for reposting this. That story still sickens me. Very similar to Eric Bledsoe.

Your post says they re-opened it though. I know they did a million times already, did they open it again recently? Is this a recent article?

Self clearly falls into the group of the smug, you can't touch me coaches like Calipari and Pitino. He walks around looking down his nose at everybody. I would love to see him burn.

[WayneFleekHoosier 51,074]

Not looking good IMO from FBI perspective. They don't have enough to get other schools.

Once it gets to NCAA, it'll all fall apart. Cheaters will continue to prosper. Very confident it's heading this direction.

Looks that way. Seems as if the “tip of the iceberg” comments were premature. I think we may have seen the whole iceberg and it may be already melting.

I think the "tip of the iceberg" comments are generally from people in the CBB world who know how dirty recruiting is. They expected it to all unfold. If the NCAA gets control again, it's close the curtains time.

Sad.

The confirmation came in 2009. Pretty clear that since they won it all, the NCAA isn't interested in looking into it.
