‘Report’ Alleges Kentucky Paid for Davis; Durand Johnson Announces Top Six

By Adam Zagoria on August 04, 2010, 4:29PM

A completely unsubstantiated report from the Chicago Sun-Times alleges that Kentucky paid $200,000 to get Anthony Davis, a 6-foot-10 rising senior from Chicago Perspectives Charter.

“We haven’t asked anyone for anything and no one has offered us anything,” Anthony Davis Sr. told the paper.

Davis Sr. did not answer a phonecall or text message Wednesday afternoon.

Jevon Maymon, Davis”s AAU coach, said by text, “I don’t know anything about this.”

The Sun-Times offered no concrete evidence or proof that Kentucky paid for Davis, who burst onto the national scene this spring and summer after growing eight inches in the last year.

The paper cited “rumors/sources” on its Website, offering no evidence of the payment.

“It’s a little unfair for a kid to have to listen to those type of rumors if they aren’t true,” recruiting analyst Joe Henricksen told the Sun-Times.

No kidding.

Davis Sr. said his son has chosen a school, but will not disclose which one.

The Sun-Times and a Kentucky blog cite unnamed sources saying he has chosen Kentucky.

Davis said at the Peach Jam that his final three were Kentucky, Ohio State and Syracuse. He has visited the first two, but not Syracuse.

He also visited DePaul unofficially Monday, but it remains unclear if the Blue Demons are in the mix.

“Yes, it’s the LeBron wait and see time,” the father said Tuesday night by text, indicating that everyone must wait and see what his son announces.

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE ATLEAST INVESTIGATED!!!!
 
this isnt really news to me. this goes on all over the place. one newspaper in chicago was just stupid enough to report a rumor without any actual concrete evidence. cal is been getting players for years- here is one thing we should know, he knows how to do it well enough to cover his tracks and not get caught. if he was going to get caught for paying players, it would have happened a long, long time ago. these coaches know how to leave paper-free trails when it comes to payment of players. this is just another rumor and will stay that way in my opinion.
 
Ya its probably just a rumor, but we can all agree that Cal is cheating the system and should be penalized. I know all coaches do one thing or another but he is on the verge of getting caught and will eventually.
 
Unlikely. He always knows when he's about to be caught and moves on so they can't sanction him. His next stop will be the NBA.
 
Per Zagoria:

Chicago Sun-Times now citing sources "from three separate universities" saying Anthony Davis Sr. asked for money - LINK (asked for $125,000-$150,000)

Sun-Times standing by story that Kentucky paid for 6-10 Anthony Davis - LINK



Could Calipari finally get served?

Hell would freeze over and Marquis Teague would become a Bearcat... sounds good to me.
 
WOW!! This is huge news. No wonder they didn't issue a retraction and only took the story down (temporarily). They were getting the confirming facts together. This could be a huge bombshell. Hey, the NCAA finally got USC. Calipari could be (and should be) next.
