Marcus smart went to ok state then signed with Adidas after entering the league. Wonder if he was paid off under the table. Obviously it could have been a coincidence but this arrest makes you wonder
Not that it matters I'm sure all these guys get paid under the table
Could be, but the Oklahoma State assistant who was charged only began working there this past year. Prior to that he was at South Carolina, which was implicated today as well.
That said, no disrespect to Smart, but I'd be surprised if Smart didn't get
something under the table. It's an open secret that this happens for the overwhelming majority of top-100 basketball recruits, of which Smart most certainly was one.
The Celtic who might be most directly impacted is not a player, however, but a coach. Miami was one of the schools identified, and Jay Larranaga's father is the head coach there.
