Wait, am I or am I not supposed to be excited about this part?
Gotta love college b-ball lol. In what other context does "he was named in the FBI probe" solicit...

EXTREMELY tied in with Streets and also is the founder of Ground Zero Training and in the last 7 years, they have had like 30 guys get drafted.

Known to not be afraid to operate in the dark gray. He was named in the FBI probe for paying Bowen.

If Brad can get Irvin and Anderson both on this staff, that would be something! Let Nick take over for Tyler while Anderson is doing his thing with Ground Zero and hopefully Anderson can bring one or two guys with him that opt to hit the portal.
I believe I read that Bowen's father accused Anderson of paying Bowen to play for Meanstreets, not any college. I don't think Anderson was affiliated with any college at the time of the alleged incident. He went to Depaul later. NCAA has no authority over AAU, correct?

I'd be excited. I don't care what the coaches have to do to get kids, the key is to just not get caught ;)
Tbf the allegations were that he paid Bowen to play for Meanstreets AAU. While this would make Bowen ineligible to play in college it really isn't an infraction on Anderson's part. Not saying he doesn't live in the gray area but it's not like he openly paid a recruit to go to Depaul. We aren't at Will Wade level here.

It's interesting on Anderson and Meanstreets, he got Bynum to come to DePaul yet he came through the MIF organization.
Anderson has a strong relationship with Bynum’s family. Anderson played in the same backcourt at Crane High School as Ahamad’s uncle Will Bynum.

That tells me there’s no chance we actually hire him. A few weeks ago there were rumors from one of the posters here (illini0440 maybe?) that the administration had flat out said no to some of the candidates based on their reputation to work in dark gray. Why would we go from that to a guy that was named in an FBI report? I’ve got to think it’s an NBA guy and the Anderson rumors are smoke or old if he was already rejected by admin.

It is the context in the 'naming'. Not charged by the FBI, not investigated by the NCAA, to my knowledge. That equals 'nothing to see here'.

Just win Baby ! When in Rome.... Jerry Tarkanian once said "If there are ten teams in a conference and nine are cheating, the tenth team will be in last place."

It’s pretty well known that they offered the kid 200k to come to DePaul. OK State made a pretty good offer as well, something like 150k cash, 10k for a car and then housing as well… But that was all Lamont Evans doing ;)

This is what scumbags tell themselves to convince themselves they aren't scumbags. I have no insight as to what it takes to be competitive in B1G MBB, but people who are okay with cheating tend to apply that ethos across all aspects of their lives. That's what makes them scumbags. Not everybody cheats, or tolerates it.

Not sure what world you live in but Wall Street cheats, major college sports cheat, private and public companies cheat, politicians are all paid off by lobbyists, it’s the world we live in.

I don’t agree with it, but nobody has built a winner or made hundreds of millions of dollars without cheating.

The NCAA has made billions off the backs of these kids.

You play the game or settle for mediocrity.

Dan - apologies for my rant and I understand if you delete it. For the record I personally don’t cheat in life or teach my kids too, but it’s unfortunately how things are.

I don’t agree with this, AT ALL. I’m not a fan of using never or all. Do some cheat to get ahead? Absolutely!! But it isn’t a prerequisite for success. I’ve achieved what I have in the market and in life on the up-and-up. My success is from using the intelligence God gave me. Maybe I’m an exception to the rule, but I’m not the only one. Success can easily be achieved within the rules.
