Classy guy. So you became a sports agent to represent your brother, and allegedly it won't happen so you go on a tirade putting him on blast? Solid business planning right there- I'm sure that will endear you to a bunch of other prospects in the future.

Different dads I suppose, because Mo seems like a class act. Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

The problem is....he is right. Mo already talked to and admitted to the NCAA to taking money from this guy and said lots of other players do too. He wont be playing college ball. And yes, the brother is a moron

Any chance you have a link to back this up? Not saying you're making it up I just haven't seen this reported anywhere.

Even if what he alleged is true, why this format, why put it on social media blast your family member.. Then have the balls to admit to selling durgs (flipping the 2 grand that was supposedly given to him) Im sure that will help his cause to be a sport agent betting he's got clients lined out the door after that smart comment, and the langue is horrific..IMO he's a total tool What a shame!!

A new report on our board stating that Mo is completely innocent and it's just a half brother that's been removed as a handler getting upset.

Makes me wonder if the rumor surfaced earlier,
i.e. Bolden was maybe gone , then Bolden was back.
i.e. UK was considered a likely choice...then it cooled.
Just curious.

Not sure cat, but Bamba seemed like a pretty solid kid during his recruitment and a decent student. I guess you never know but definitely get the f away from his half brother- sounds like he already has which shows some smarts.

FOR 02: Only meaning that Duke and/or UK got an early hint of this and decided that the possible negative publicity and some possible truth
from this could negate any benefit of taking the risk.
Do you think that the NCAA will do a drive by on this
or just ignore it due to the source? I wish the best
to MB. (unless he took extra benefits from Texas)

I watched about 3 minutes of the 22 minute video that his brother posted and in just the 3 minutes or so that I watched of the vidod his brother said "long story short" at least 3-4 times if not more times than that, so I can only imagine how many more times his brother said "long story short" throughout the rest of the video since I didn't watch all of it and because of that it makes me wonder how much truth there is to his claims.

I don't know if his talk about meeting with the NCAA is true or not but this kinda crap KILLS me. Here's unx cheating their azzes off for 20+ years and ya could make the argument that the academics "prong" is jut the tip of the iceberg. Fats Thomas is a convicted felon fer cryin' out loud and he supplies cars to unx athletes , works as a bouncer at the same club Crystal Gail Mangum stripped at , was an office manager(?) at unx alum-run Iceberg Mouthguards and had a girlfriend neck-deep in the ADHD scam. And all that's just FATS! Will Graves booted off the team but lives in Roy's house. Wayne Ellington's living arrangements raised some interesting questions as did the hiring of Tami Hansborough to work in , what else? , the dental school at unx. More Iceberg. Never mind the moral , ethical and professional lapses of judgement involved with her sleeping with the ( married ) Matt Kupec...the school's top fund-raiser. And , yeah , jus' for sheet's an' giggles let's go back and add in the massive academic explolitation and fraud. ALL that and the NCAA's gonna run after this kid? Look , not sayin' wrong-doing hasn't been done ( if indeed it has ) but come on. There's spittin' on the sidewalk and there's pre-meditated first-degree murder followed by prison-raping an' skull-******* the corpse. unx is guilty of the latter an' the disgruntled family member gets a sit-down with the NCAA just for makin' this sour-grapin'-azz video an' postin' it on freakin' FaceBook??? Ok sure. Whatever.

His brother said Mo said it to an NCAA compliance director during the initial call 'to' Mo. He said Mo told them that when they called him yesterday. He says it in the video. So for now, if we assume the brother is telling the truth about all of this, then Mo admitted it.

There was an article on this I think on CBS yesterday. The guy who gave him gifts had apparently been with him as a mentor through an inner city program since he was nine years old. And the "gifts" were a place to stay and a little bit of spending money. Article said because there was a relationship in place before he became a prospect it is fine and that it had already all been run through the NCAA anyway.

Nice find. And that certainly changes my opinion on the matter if the source is correct.

Yep, he will have no problem. Did this "mentor" think he might be a star from a young age and hope to capatalize someday? Good chance but what can you do??

UK backed off because of the above. What a joke. Cal probably had someone paying his brother and when he realized Mo wasn't coming to Kentucky, he cut the flow of money and big brother outs Mo.
