"Oh, the big kid?" Wade asked.

"Yeah," Dawkins confirmed.

"Wade said at his weekly media availability, "The facts are there’s been zero inquiries, there’s been zero contact by the NCAA to me, my staff, my players, our administration, our school. There’s been zero inquiries or contact made by the NCAA.”

Alleva stated,
"While LSU has not been contacted by federal, league or NCAA officials, we can confirm a proactive and voluntary examination of current coaches and players was conducted by compliance officials and outside legal counsel in the fall of 2017," Alleva said. "That examination found the program in full compliance with NCAA, SEC and University rules and regulations.

"LSU will continue to monitor basketball and other athletic programs for NCAA and SEC rules," Alleva concluded.
