Seems like I remember a Walmart granddaughter involved in an academic scandal while enrolled at Mizzou. Maybe she should have chosen UNC instead.
Yup! Well, actually she was going to UCLA at the time of the scandal. She was paying people to do her homework and papers. MU was pushing hard to name the arena after Norm Stewart, but Bill Laurie wasn't having it. He was the main reason Norm was let go. When he found out what they wanted to name the arena he increased his donation to 25 million. The total cost of the build was 75 million. With that Paige Sports Arena was born! Didn't last very long and they ended up naming the court after Norm. On a side note, Norm Stewart is one of the coolest people to talk to in the world. Loves his University, HATES KU! He wouldn't spend any money in Kansas on away games. They got gas in Missouri and took their meals with them. Never stayed the night in Kansas. Classic Old School ball coach. This has nothing to do with recruiting, sorry if it wastes some of your time.

GG Jackson high ranked 6'08 forward class of 2023 decommits from North Carolina. He's look good in orange. Rumors about signing up with South Carolina, nothing firm.

High ranked is still an understatement for the top ranked player in his class (247's #1, 247 Composite #2).

He's very much expected to go to South Carolina and re-class to arrive on campus this summer/fall. Apparently was intending to do the same at UNC if his credits cleared, but them taking Nance from the portal changed that plan and set this all in motion.

First ever decommitment in UNC's history, must be nice.
I came across that stat as well and couldn't believe it. Then I remembered how their players didn't have to go to any classes without anyone batting an eye lash.. More reason to despise them.

Sorry for little rant folks, I'm still a little bitter just thinking of that dirty POS 2005 UNC team that was full of ineligible players.

Anyways, no need for crying over spilled milk. Absolutely love where Coach Underwood is doing with our basketball program & its finally a real treat following Illini recruiting again.

GO ILLINI!
