Okay, guys. I’m hear to clear the air. Hardy was NOT involved in this incident.
He was there, but not associated in any way, shape or form. This happened two years ago. (Ironically, it was just before NU played GT in Atlanta. That was the first game the assistant missed because of the accusation. He resigned shortly thereafter).
There’s no way Hardy would’ve gotten a head job at the end of that season if he was even remotely associated. The incident happened during Hardy’s first year there, and he was not the lead recruiter on Wendell Carter, either. He knew the family from when he was working at Georgetown, and Carter’s dad told him he was going to Duke, so Hardy knew it was a waste of time.
