I have no idea where this goes, but no matter how it plays out it will hurt UA especially with recruiting and trying to finish this class out. The last few spots are for top targets we are trying to pull out of state against top programs. This will be used against us and I will bet players like Hand(who I doubt was coming) will now be headed to UM without a doubt.
My concern is how did Yahoo get all this info. I am not a lawyer but bank records and text messages have to be subpoenaed if I remember correctly. Yahoo does not have that power and the freedom of information act does not apply here. The snake in the grass here seems to be Davis. He is the only one that would have all that info between so many different people or groups involved. Reading between the lines it appears Davis was hustling these groups or people and many of them seem to think they were getting Fluker. I wonder if Davis when he could not deliver was cut off and he is now mad and threaten to expose them all. The NFL will and can suspend all fore mentioned parties from being agents in the NFL and these states(all 3 I believe TN, AL, and MS) can prosecute now for these types of actions.
These groups will not back any story nor will the players involved. Davis is looking for a payday and unless he talks it will go away. The NCAA can not subpoena either but I am not sure it matters how they acquire info either however they want to use it. In a court evidence not legally obtained will be thrown out but just like the NCAA can not subpoena no one can bring legal recourse against the NCAA for how they operate.
This all comes down to Davis and whether he talks. I do not think what was out there can prove anything, based on what I saw. It may raise questions and has me worried, but I saw no proof of funds going to anyone except Davis or any text that went to any player other than saying tied to said player. Just my opinion but Davis is the only concern I would have right now.

Correct. A private entity like Yahoo can't get access to those without the cooperation of the account holder.

It wouldn't be anyone else. Agents are filth and scum, but they aren't going to commit career suicide because they wasted a few thousand dollars in an effort at signing a player. I seriously doubt any of the implicated players turned all of this over either. It's pretty obviously Luther Davis who is behind all of this. Hopefully he falls up some stairs.
