Sean Miller

Everyone is involved. It's just a matter of who they have on tape cooperating with these losers that got caught. I'd be a lot more worried if one of the real prominent agents (IE Rich Paul) was going down. If he got caught, EVERYONE would be in trouble.
Yep and this morning's releasing of the names of players receiving money was nothing compared to what's dangerously close to being released to the general public. Talk about an uncomfortable feeling. Most of us should be holding our collective breath that our coaches aren't involved on those tapes.
Maybe? I do know Donovan stopped recruiting those kids because of this. JJ Hickson is another kid that UF lost because of money.
No idea on Wiggins. Embiid, out of nowhere, picked KU over UF.
Being that he's an IU fan I would guess it was Archie. He has one of Trump and Knight now though.
Embiid was on KU's radar for quite a while. It wasn't an overnight deal. That being said, my optimism that Self won't be implicated in the wire taps is fading by the second. Miller was the first big name to fall but his won't be the last.....not by a freaking long shot.
There won’t be self wire taps. Self, k, Cal, Roy are far from removed on these dealings. They aren’t in the dark but have nothing to do with these type of negotiations. They have their plates full with normal hug school ass kissing and programs to run. The smaller time guys have actual staff members involved. Big dogs don’t. They have things that work in their favor but not cash payments. Rival coaches to ku inckuded.
You might be right, but I think Miller was, by far, the most obvious.
I sure hope so man. This deal seem to be blowing up rather quickly. I wish for everyone's sake the FBI would release what they have so everything can be dealt with. You're right, coaches like Self, K, Roy and Cal may not be on the wire taps but they're not in the dark at all.
Well if that's the case the last top recruit UNC landed was Harrison Barnes in 2010. I feel good but then again I don't. I'm anxious to see how this shakes out for Duke and all that talent they been pulling in for the last few years.
I’ll say...no, resign/fired tomorrow and Ayton never plays again either
Me too. But with all of that talent and the only thing (thus far) is Wendell's mom having a meal in 2016. Not bad.
Absolutely! If Wendell's mom having a meal paid for is the worst news for Duke, you guys are in great shape.
Sean Miller isn't what most would consider "smaller time". He's been a borderline top 10 coach.
Another early exit for Arizona.
Yep. It’s about time that we all just laugh at ourselves.
I agree. Someone's meal isn't even worth talking about. If that's the worst some of these kids/parents did then I wouldn't worry about it.
I think we all have our popcorn out at this point waiting to point fingers and hoping they don't get pointed back at us. RollLaugh For the most part though, I think this is more of a player/agent issue than an issue with NCAA basketball. IE - Many more cases of players taking money from agents and those agents hoping those guys sign with them once they go pro as opposed to money being funneled to players to attend cetain colleges.
I wouldn't put him in the top 10. He's had some stacked teams and has no final 4's on his resume.
Pretty much. He actually did more with a lot less when he was at Xavier.
Two years ago he was cracking Top 10s and that's would've been the during these recruitment.

That's not exactly what people consider a small time coach. It's not K, Cal, Izzo, Williams, Self but Sean Miller was on the next tier in terms of big time coaches a few years ago.

And now he'll be getting advice from Pitino about filing for unemployment.
Well tjat, and John Cougar.That's the only reason I can imagine anyone would go to Indiana.
Duh....
Imagine if Bo Ryan cheated? Wisconsin would be the Alabama of college basketball.
I actually think cheating would've been detrimental to a guy like Ryan. You ain't paying for lanky, unathletic white kids and they were his bread and butter. That and having veteran teams were the reasons he succeeded. Cheating takes away all that.
K is like Paulie from Goodfellas, he doesn't talk on the phone.
I bet he would if there were still pay phones though... and he would use one of those gadgets that distorts his voice so it wouldn't sound like him.
