Apart from what may or may not be in tapes or witness statements in the possession of the FBI that we don’t even know about yet, look at it this way. LSU has 3-4 players on its roster that aren’t typical LSU recruits. They are Kansas, North Carolina, Michigan State, Kentucky caliber recruits. When 3-4 such players suddenly show up on the roster of a school like LSU, everyone knows something is up. Imagine if Mark Stoops suddenly started signing all the 5 star recruits in the south away from Alabama. Everyone would know what was going on and Kentucky would sooner or later go on probation. The trouble here for LSU is that an unexpected FBI investigation brought the heat down a couple of years earlier than would have otherwise occurred. Make not mistake, however, FBI or not, every rival knew Wade was cheating as soon as they saw who he recruited successfully.

The above is a sky scream

LSU basketball is not comparable to Kentucky football. 3 top 50 all time players. Couple of final fours. SEC titles. Top 3 in all time SEC wins. Had a stretch from late 70s into the 90s where they made the tourney every year. Trent Johnson won the SEC not that long ago.

Also, don’t throw rocks when you live in a glass house. Sutton mailed out cash to recruits. Rupp and Joe B Hall were every bit as dirty as Bear Bryant. If Calipari is clean today it’s inky because of some extremely recent epiphany. The reality is that the AAU basketball system and shoe companies created a situation where every player and school is tainted.
