This is patently false, there was an ASSUMPTION made and was NOT entered into evidence because no such definite thing was ever said. Plus, it's Christian Dawkins, who you keep saying can't be trusted anyways, right?

From the own article you linked:

Link? Robert Williams was a recruiting find from a tiny town who blew up late.

Is there a federal wiretap of A&M head coach offering money for him? Or are you just throwing shite against the wall in the hope that the mere appearance of impropriety might win you favor with the members of this court?



Like i said, college basketball as a whole needs to be rehabilitated. Will Wade did do things the wrong way. LSU compliance will shut that shite down.

I’m hopeful that State will be a contender in the SEC. This is the first time in about a decade where I think our team can make some noise

It's absurd to equate the fact that Williams was mentioned by a known pathological liar as being involved in pay for play with the fact that LSU's head coach is on FBI wiretap offering money to middle men for the purchase of players. The first is rumor from a known liar. The second is a fricking FBI wiretap.


Well, first off, you're wrong there. He never offered any money in the call. It was mostly a bunch of inuendo and assumptions about what they were talking about and was very vague, not to mention we're not even affiliated with Adidas. The information in the phone call was irrelevant to the case and dismissed by the judge. Does it look good, no. Is it anything for us to get worried about from the NCAA, no. If they haven't given the Arizona coach the show clause, then I doubt anything comes of this. You act like other coaches in the league are squeaky clean. Maybe other schools should do a little self reflection before trying to point fingers, eh hem .... Bama, State, Auburn, etc.

My Preseason top 5

#6 VOLS (Most experienced/veteran team -- Legitimate 11-12 deep)
#2 Kentucky (Most talented)
#11 AU (Most FBI investigations/pay to play)
#18 State (Small step back teams from above)
UR Florida (Small step back from teams above)

** Ricky from Hickory with a winning H2H record vs Calipari, Pearl, Howland, & White.

UT is team to beat this year. UK is always talented and always young so you never know how much they may lose just to being young against a better SEC.

State returns everyone from a good team and added two REALLY good players and will be very deep. Florida and LSU always have potential but haven't put it together in a couple year. Auburn in the mix here as well

The bottom of league is filled with teams where most are better than last year but not up with the top half of the league. Alabama will be worse this year over last year and so will UGA. Mizzou will be sneaky this year I think

So you point fingers while saying you are clean?

Kentucky will play Duke, Kansas, and North Carolina.

I predict Kentucky has a harder time in conference than against those teams. SEC always way more physical.

Maybe. But I hope not. LSU's coach is a court documented cheater who buys players, and he deserves to fail. 

You could say this for almost 80% of d1 coaches.

While I think this is true for the most part. Mike has missed on too many big recruits to be cheating.

Florida is two years removed from an Elite 8 and arguably couldve gone farther last year if the front court wasn't so banged up.

What is the expectations for Avery this year? I assume tournament but how hot would his seat be if they just make the NIT. Before the tournament started last year, seems like the fan base was really divided over him. Obviously, his finish to the season helped him a lot.

My expectations at this point are to make the NCAA Tournament every season. That doesn't mean he should be fired if he doesn't one year, but at this point 4 years in that is the yearly expectation.

This team specifically, a winning SEC record and a NCAAT birth. More specifically, that they look like a team that has quite a bit of experience and not like a team that is young and all over the place. That was understandable last year, shouldn't be the case this year.

The league is really good so if we barely missed the NCAAT people would be grouchy but assuming we didn't have just massive collapses and underachievement I don't think he'd be in a lot of hot water. However, if we look like a hot mess then he's gonna get heat. He was a Collin floater vs A&M away from feeling serious heat going into this year.

Coach White has to stop losing the stupid games. Beat Auburn and swept Kentucky last year but lost to Ole Miss and got swept by Georgia. Winning 2/3 would've won the SEC.
