Wiseman ineligible

[BIGBLUE402]

If you donate to a school once, are you considered a booster 10 years later? Article said PH donated in 2008

that was a typo this happen in 2018

 

[dcspurlock]

So had he commuted to us he would be playing tonight. How did the Memphis administration not see this coming? They had to know Penny has given the school money in the past. They knew he would be considered a booster under the law. Yet they hired him to get one player and one player only. A player he has given financial assistance to in the past. Surely this isn’t new news to them.

 

[crxohio]

Hate to say this. But cade cunningham probably the next talk. Soon enough.

 

[Shaudylo]

Wow 2008

 

[UKUGA]

Nothing so far on national media.

Nothing in the Bible either.

 

[Catluv]

I guess he can go to Duke and get eligible immediately! They will get him cleared!!

ESPN running with the story now.

 

[Blueblood410]

Clearly the NCAA is jealous of Penny.

 

[Zjstep01]

Wow 2008

2018

 

[flacat22]

Yes: Laphonso Ellis said the title hopes of Memphis are done. Correct.

No: called them “Memphis State.” Keith Lee isn’t there any more. Wrong. Cmon JWill Jr.

"I hate it for the kid"

Hes a top5 pick no matter what.. and he just saved his body for the real money. Poor kid was about to be a work horse for Penny to jump start his own career. Blessing in disguise.

 

[Snarks]

Geez, think Penny would have been upfront about all this with Memphis and they woulda taken a hard look at things. Guess their compliance department is slacking

 

[BlueBlood66_rivals34314]

Obvious why Duke was never involved with him now. Glad K stays away from these problems.

 

[Montana81]

I don't think he backed off. I just think there's a reason kids choose other schools. There was one human being on earth who could get Wiseman away from Cal and Memphis hired him.

Is there anyone that can beat Cal for a recruit without doing something shady? I wonder how many over the years we’ve lost straight up? No hiring of family members? No envelopes of cash? No shoe companies promising lucrative apparel contracts?

 

[flacat22]

Penny booster for a school that he played at and coaches at. There saying he gave Memphis unfair advantage

I understand that now.

 

[FlCATFan_rivals26961]

Sux to be Memphis tonight.

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

You mean Penny used Wiseman to get the Head coach job at Memphis and it wasn't on the up and up....

Hey Memphis!! You deserve it! Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap! You deserve it!! Clap Clap Clap-Clap-Clap!

Short on cash after Zion/Bagley.

 

[yoshukai]

So did Penny pay for Cisse's move to Memphis?

 

[RobJones1978]

Honestly petty if true but still. Fugg em

Disagree on this one. 95% of the time I side with letting a kid play but you can’t pay for a kid to move to your city so you can coach him then use him to get a job then bring him to your school.

 

[somethingalways1]

Sorry if this has already been covered but theoretically, he could've gone to any other school and maybe would have been eligible, right?

 

[flacat22]

Wiseman’s lawyer. Grad of UM School of Law

[HerrosHeroes]

Not looking like a very Wiseman now.
Should have went to UK, what an idiot.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Not only Wiseman, but I wonder if Jeffries now wishes he had honored his commiment?

 

[Crawfords Corner]

1 game in and we find out Penny is a cheat. Why am I not surprised.

 

[BassProCat]

Yes basically anywhere penny wasn’t going to coach at.

 

[flacat22]

unless that schools coach paid to move the family to their school’s town, yes. K moves them to Durham? No. Cmon that’s allowed. Cal saw the open palms and gave him a choice. The right path or the Penny Path. He chose instant gratification.

1 year and 1 game

 

[ConRay9]

So Penny essentially screwed the kid over while taking shots at UK in the aftermath of his commitment? Recruits take notes.

Penny is shady as hell and I don't feel a bit sorry for him or their idiotic fans who for some reason believe Memphis basketball is a national powerhouse. This is what Wiseman gets for committing to play for that dumbass.

 

[Barry MuCockinher]

Lmmfao I thought he went there purely due to the "relationship" he had with penny. Penny sucks at cheating just as bad as he does posing as a real coach. . I'm betting there's more players there for the "relationship" you know like a certain guy named Jeffries.......

IF the move really happened in 2008, then wiseman was like 8 years old. Seems like that sort of makes him a victim for lack of a better way of putting it, but i see both sides. Im not upset hes not playing.

 

[WitnessGreatness]

Now he's eligible to play

“OBVIOUSLY”. You scumbags did the same for Bagley and Williamson (et al) but have just learned over time and were just better versed at cheating than lil Penny. Yeah, you’re innocent. Stfu.
