You realized it was that much ! Wow, reading comprehension is a great thing. They did not pay him, study up on increasing personal brand. Are you still mad at Duke ? Beat them, that will help. Shoe guys love all that Duke exposure and i am not talking about the little scum runners, i am talking about the head guys at Nike and Addidas. They will always value the kids that get the most exposure more.
Come on Built, it was play on the fact that his family got paid. So cheating pays off.
Well I would imagine not everyone gets a bag of money! Alot of them do and alot of them dont.
Very few do but it does create a playing field that is uneven. Find a way to beat them, others have.
If one player takes the money I would say that all players in effect take the money. There success was directly attributed to Zion. It is like saying I only cleaned the guns for Capone.... I didn’t shoot anyone. They all know it is happening and they took advantage of the cheating. They are all cheaters. Players of good character will not have anything to do with people like that.
Understand your take. My thought is Grant Hill did not take money and did not know anyone who did, Same for Jay Williams, Reddick, Ferry, Dunleavy, I do not through everyone under the bus just because Voshon got cash and they may or not have known.
They simply have poor ethics and will do anything to win. I have seen it in hundreds of amateur golf tournaments, these kinds of people put their club down behind the ball and press down to improve their lie, there is not a camera to catch them but they broke a rule and if you do not call them on it you have not protected the field.
Voshon got cash? I’ve never heard that before.
Players on that team had talked about it at the time. Plus read Clems violations.
I didnt see in the report about Voshon getting cash. Could have maybe missed it. All I found on the subject of voshon getting paid was a report by mitch albom saying that voshon knew ed martin.
Voshon was witnessed getting cash at a team function i attended, when asked why he needed 300 he said it was for getting to a family funeral. What do you think Clem Paid James and Jackson to get here and stay eligible . Then He lied.
Also dont see anything about james or jackson being paid. One article even talks about jackson generating millions of dollars for UofM but not a single player ever received a dime. Every article and the report just talks about paying Jan $3,000.
Understood that it is not in the report and Dorhman could not provide proof but he talked about it on the radio years later. Fyi, i am not against funeral money or travel which are now ok. But it was a disgusting running joke among boosters what Clem was doing.
Rahim truly cares about the right kids picking the right place. His own kid is on a long track with different goals. The kids that get g league money will have a tremendous amount of time devoted to basketball and training far beyond the time limits college kids have. No idea what the Holmgrens priorities are.
Right. Access to more time and better trainers would be a huge perk. I do remember reading an article years ago documenting injuries of one and dones, and the ultimate conclusion was that 18 year olds weren’t ready to jump into the grind of the NBA. People are a lot smarter now than in the early 2000s, but I wonder how some 18 year olds would fair despite their talent. I suppose playing against Iowa’s center wouldn’t be any easier on the body.
great shot blocker who wants to avoid the paint at the next level
Says who? The guy plays bigger than he is, only blocked Sierra Canyon 11 times.
