ESPN report said his parents are the subject of the lawsuit and they would have to give depositions answering questions about what they received from whom. Sounds like shades of the Reggie Bush investigation. A party who thought they were representing Zion got jilted and is spilling the beans.
Will be awesome to see Jay Bilas and Jay Williams having to break ranks with K and call him out for allowing it to all happen. Because the lawsuit alleges Duke knew all about the payoffs.
Thanks for the clarification, OutsiderFan. I don't usually enjoy wallowing in the misery of others, but I've not liked Duke basketball ever since Christian Laettner stomped on the fallen Kentucky player Timberlake and didn't get ejected--all before sinking that game-winning shot. And then Grayson Allen comes along and makes Laettner look like an angel in comparison.
It's weird, though, because I have a lot of respect for Duke University in general, I just don't like their MBB team. One of my favorite Stanford MBB moments is Stanford overcoming a 15-point second half deficit and Casey Jacobsen hitting the game-winning shot vs #1 Duke in 2000. I remember watching that game on TV and being emotionally exhausted for at least 24 hours following.
Come to think of it, we don't talk about that game enough, IMO.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
