Not to change the subject, but curiosity says,
If 5 different members of the UConn basketball staff contacted the recruit Fields and his agent, who was recently a UConn team manager over 1600 times in 2 years or less, and the agent paid the players expenses and for an operation in Tampa ????? And the rule is only one contact per month for an underclassman.

How many contacts and how much money was spent on Thabeet and the family in Houston who brought him here as his sponsor from Africa. Did the religious group they belonged to receive funds from the Athletic Department or donations from UConn alums ?

Why would UConn coaches, including Coach Calhoun associate with this manager turned sports agent when he was expected of stealing a million dollars from a former player through his credit cards.

Whee does a former team manager, turned agent get the money to finance a player when there is no mention of any professional clients to pay him?

Just curious.

1. an unspoken gamble
help them out while in school and know that you will cash in when they sign with the pros.

College sports is increasingly nasty. I LOVE college football, but the people are getting slimier and slimier.
