The rumor has been out there for some time that Trendon was being shopped. A bidding war between Memphis and LSU wouldn’t surprise me and is exactly what the Watford camp was after. If TW is bringing $250K, what is Precious being offered?

My guess is a lot less.

If you read between lines of all the anonymous quotes from coaches that were published when the Wade scandal first broke, it gives a pretty clear picture that he was stepping on a lot of other coaches toes by his "strong arse offers" going far beyond "the usual."

One gets the picture that Wade was making offers to 4/5 star borderline guys that were in access of what the #2 and #3 ranked guys were being offered by blue bloods, and/or that an LSU may have to pay triple what Kentucky would to swing the same player and Wade was willing and eager to do so.
