that pretty much kills any hope we had for this year. However, I don't see anything that makes me think it's not just speculation, particularly the part about the housing in LA being the lying issue (pretty sure the lie was in reference to who took him on a visit) and referring to investigators as "prosecutors".

Going to go back and check on that visit part.

I remembered correctly.
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">March 2006 trip to LA</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Based on the
information submitted, the student-athlete has jeopardized his amateur
status by accepting transportation around Los Angeles from two
individuals with whom there is no pre-existing relationship. This
benefit is contrary to Bylaw 12.1.2.1.6. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Further, based
on facts found by the Fact-Finding Committee, a violation of Bylaw
10.1-(d) was committed by the student-athlete for the statements
outlined in Fact number 25 – (a), (b) and (f). These statements have
proven to be false statements provided during the interviews noted in
the document. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Due to the fact
that there does not appear to be any evidence that the complimentary
hotel room was provided based on the student-athlete’s athletics
ability or reputation , there is not enough evidence to confirm a
violation of NCAA rules at this time. Further, through interviews, the
student-athlete’s father maintains that he provided the remainder of
the expenses for the trip to Los Angeles. While there is no
documentation to substantiate this, based on the Fact-Finding
Committee’s deliberation on this issue, there are no other remaining
issues with the expenses for the trip to Los Angeles. </span></p>

Remember...Indian Burial Ground.

ETA: He'll average 25 ppg and 12 rpg during an NITchampsburg title run, vaulting himself into the draft lottery, and you'll never see him again.

Just thinking of what would be the most soul-crushing outcome of this whole scenario, because that's most likely what is going to happen.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate kick in the balls for this basketball season.

but considering he is easily pushing 300 lbs, and hasn't played in at least 6 months, anyone think that he may not have many options?

I know the guy is a talent, but Im just wondering if he has ate his way out of the first round. There isa pretty strong draft crop this year, and I know he could go toa camp and play his way into the first round, but its a pretty unique situation.

but there's usually at least one team willing to use a high draft pick for a player with a huge upside potential, even if he does have a few question marks.
