The most interesting text messages between Bill Self and T.J. Gassnola that were shared Monday in federal court were the ones that came after the former Adidas consultant thanked the Kansas coach for whatever role he played in getting KU's 12-year contract extension done with the apparel company in September 2017.
Self, according to The Kansas City Star, told Gassnola he was happy with Adidas before adding "just need to get a couple real guys."
quote:
"In my mind, it's KU, Bill Self. Everyone else fall into line. Too (expletive) bad," Gassnola replied. "That's what's right for Adidas basketball. And I know I'm right. The more you have lottery picks and you happy. That's how it should work in my mind."
"That's how ur (sic) works. At UNC and Duke," Self replied
. Gassnola answered by saying Kentucky as well. "I promise you I got this," Gassnola texted. "I have never let you down. Except (Deandre). Lol. We will get it right."
quote:
What that exchange features is Gassnola essentially promising Self that he'll help him land five-star prospects because Kansas is Adidas' biggest basketball program and what's good for Kansas is good for Adidas. Gassnola assures Self he will deliver because he's never previously let him down -- except for that time with Deandre Ayton, the five-star center who enrolled at Arizona, a Nike school, even though Gassnola paid one of Ayton's friends $15,000, according to testimony last week
quote:
Why did he want Gassnola working for Kansas? Because, he believed, somebody at Nike was working for Duke and North Carolina. And why was Gassnola so anxious to help Kansas? Because, he believed, somebody at Nike was also helping Kentucky. That's four blue-blood programs with Hall of Fame coaches.
"That's how [it] works," Self texted Gassnola.

Soon they’ll join the ranks of The Godfather of illegal basketball recruiting - John Calipari.

If and when Cal’s get clipped, then I’ll gladly say we are fricked.
Until then, LSU and Kansas is fricked.

I'm not sure how many times it needs to be said that while Kentucky could be cheating, they are not involved directly in the FBI investigation. Otherwise they would have been named a hell of a long time ago.
It's involving a certain shoe company and the schools interacting with that company.

So is your stance that Cal/UK/Nike haven’t paid UK recruits or that they are smart enough to not get caught?

Your dumbass amateur coach is on wiretaps.
K and Cal are not.
If your dumbass amateur coach is not smart enough to play the game, then he has no business running a P5 program.
You’re in bargaining stage. This is no different then what Louisville fans were squawking at us when they were going down.

Our guy must have been fired in 15. We haven’t had a top 5 recruit since then.

Our dumbass amateur coach kicked Calipari’s arse on Cal’s home floor.

The ncaa isn’t going to take all of the blue bloods down that are implicated in this case. Kansas, duke, LSU, and Arizona are too important of powerhouses for the ncaa to hammer

Bill Self has been dirty since he got to Kansas (probably before).
The shocking thing is that they cheat in the open and no one cares.
