Criminal environments? Am I missing something?
There’s nothing left to hear, man - she accused him of taking money. He probably did. There is no other shoe for to drop for you.
Moreover, it’s not really material to her suit. She’s saying he breached a contract with her - him getting money from Duke doesn’t make that more or less true. The only purpose here is to slime him.
I’m cool with dragging Dukes name through the mud
I understand most intl players are not ranked by recruiting services unless they played hs or prep schoolball in the US. Exp: Iggy Brazdeikis.
So am I, but I don’t support dragging Zion’s, who seems like a good kid.
…but who got paid.
It is absolutely relevant to her suit. One of his defenses to the claim is that she didn’t tell him that signing the contract took away his NCAA eligibility, and that this violated North Carolina law pertaining to agent conduct voiding the contract. She is responding that he was already ineligible because he and/or his parents had already taken actions taking away his NCAA eligibility. You can agree or disagree with her position or tactics; that doesn’t mean though that what she is seeking has nothing to do with her claim.
He actually played prep in America this past year
He was ranked in everything just not top 50 in any
I thought the claim was that she is not a certified agent and therefore cannot represent him?
That seems like a pretty big problem for her. That’s just what I read in the news; I realize newspapers often have no clue when they report on legal proceedings.
I think that sounds extremely interesting. What’s your YouTube channel name?
Edit: I meant “what’s your twitter“, my bad.
If that’s true, then it sounds like very poor lawyering on his side to open up this issue.
As far as I know, she wasn’t representing him in basketball contract discussions, but rather for marketing/endorsement opportunities. I don’t think you have to certified for that, or that the NBA has control over that.
I assumed one would have to be certified to do that. But you may well be right.
I wonder if the Court will see this as a valid defense. The NC law (as I understand it) allows the athlete to void the contract based on the fact that the contract makes him ineligible. It essentially punishes the agent for doing something that would compromise an athlete’s eligibility. So the defense is, “You can’t void the deal because you were already ineligible?” Two bad actors deserve each other? I guess it’s an unclean hands sort of argument but it feels like a square peg in a round hole to me. It feels like the intent of the law is to punish a shady agent regardless of whether the player is also breaking rules.
Gotta remember that almost no suits actually go to trial, particularly when there are millions of dollars involved. She’s trying to get damaging discovery to strengthen her position on settlement negotiations. Which is annoying, but super common.
Maybe Coack K can buy all the jurors 
while they are sequestered and ESPN can gush about it for weeks.
College sports are so up in the air right now, I can’t imagine choosing to come back to college when you’re guaranteed to get drafted and a contract
fwiw most msu insiders have shifted to thinking he’s going
Outside of his wife and family, Tillman says his coach Tom Izzo has had one of the biggest roles throughout his decision making process.
“He knows the NBA ins and outs and he wants the best for me and my family as well."
LOL.
Having read the article now it seems like he’s leaning towards entering but just wants more specific talk of interest from teams which I’m sure will come
