Thinking outside the box here. Reddish met with Lebron and his agent while out in California during the Nike event last month and then committed a week after or maybe not even a week. Do you think this could be something? Remember everyone said oh it is nothing it is aloud. But maybe Reddish could have been involved with sort of the same dealings here.
Cam Reddish
- Thread starter Born and Raised Big Blue
- Start date
Hope not but after reading everything today it made me think he committed very soon after all of that also.
Reddish indicated to lots of people that he was going to Duke literally months before the announcement.
Said this in the other thread but that was Lebron and Paul trying to see if they could get Reddish to Kentucky.

Dukes recruiting has really picked up of late. Wouldn't shock me. Chapel is K's hired gun. He's as dirty as pitino.
Why wouldnt he? People do dumb and reckless stuff all the time.
No way would a high profile coach bang some slut on the table in a restarant while the assistant coach is on look out.
No way would a university hire strippers and prostitutes for recruits much less underage kids.
No way would a coach get involved with 100k payments to a recruit.
People do dumb **** every day
LeBron is careful enough to not put himself in that situation nor does he need the money. Rich Paul is getting more clout as an agent too. LeBron was already investigated by NBAPA to see if he had any money at all in KLUTCH and LeBron and his team are pretty business savy
Frankly more interested in Bagley reclassifying and quickly winding up at Duke.
Folks, if Duke somehow gets pulled into this, it would be the end of the NCAA. That's the sacred cow. They'd dissolve the NCAA and create a new governing body before they will censure Duke.
Don't forget that Lebron has played for K for at least 10-12 years of USA BB, I know Lebron loves Cal but he played for K and I think a phone call and meeting was set up by Duke/Nike assts to maybe give some guidance wink wink on his future IMO. Lebron considers K his mentor, his John Wooden. He considers Cal his crazy fun uncle who he loves to be around and he likes that Cal does not BS kids etc. A coach who is not like others but K is on sacred ground.
The meeting between Cam and Rich Paul was to try and steer Reddish to UK, not to Duke. Blueblood66 is giving good information here.
Does anyone remember when Jay Williams showed up to restaurant with 25k in bag for Kevin Love father when Duke wanted him.
Forget the exact details but it was something like that

Capel looks like a gangster, like one of those bodyguards just always standing there with a smirk on his face, you wouldn't think Duke would want that face being the face of Duke basketball. K and him both look sneaky.
That is not true. Just some scuttlebutt that the meeting was more about Nike than a school.
I can put 2 and 2 together to see this meeting was not just happenstance. Again if it had been someone else involved in meeting other than Lebron than I would buy that.
I think the kid said I am going to Duke and Lebron is not going to try to talk him out of going to his mentor's school. There is zero chance that Lebron tried to convince this kid not to go to Duke and UK. Did not happen. Lebron was glad it was Nike school, intro him to Paul but would not push Cal over K.
The key and big deal is who arranged the meeting, was it Duke was it Nike, was it Cal, was it Paul. I think it was more the school that received his commitment and brokered by Nike
IMO
Paul arranged the meeting. Look at His client list, he would much prefer Reddish at UK.
He has been set to go to Duke for almost a year. I think this was more a meeting of Nike and Paul. No way does Lebron try to talk out of Coach K. He is as close or closer to K than Cal
Nobody is going to fall for this 'meet to steer to UK' ******** being spewed on here by a couple of damn Dookies. Get the **** out of here with that crap. You guys are full of ****, much like K and Capel.
laugh all you want, but it's the truth. Again look at Paul's client list. That should tell you all you need to know. Reddish was always going to go to Duke, this was just a last ditch effort to try and sway his mind to UK.
Why would Lebron direct Reddish to Duke?
I suspect Lebron WAS making contact and letting the kid know that when he leaves Duke next year, he wants to be Nike with the cool kids. No doubt about the PR aspect of that. But, pay the kid now to go to Duke and commit to Nike? I don't see that, but time will tell.

That is not true. K is a confidant of Lebron, Paul may have his motives but no way an agent tried to steer this recruit to UK over Duke, it did not happen. Coach K and Lebron are closer than Cal. Lebron wanted Nike and Paul wanted to Reddish to know he was Lebron's man.
I think if this was Kansas and UK, Lebron and co. would say go to Cal and Nike.
If that was what the meeting was about he WOULD be at UK. Sorry, but Coach K & his dirty sidekick don't have that much away. Reddish would listen to LeBron James over the other 2 turds.
But that's not what the meeting was about. Coach K coached LeBron & they're friends also. Hard for you to conceive that Coach K & staff turned to the dark side in 2014 to be able to keep up with Cal.
I respect Reddish and his reason to attend Duke. Doesn't mean I like it. Innocent until proven guilty, we are wasting out time on this subject!
Not accurate at all... I don't wear glasses.
Uhh...go look at Duke's recruiting:
2008-2013 - 4, 5 star recruits
2014-2017 - 15, 5 star recruits
**You tell me what changed so drastically? Coach K was still Coach K 2008-2013. If he's the big sale why couldn't he sell himself then?
I was flatout told before any of this stuff happened yesterday that Nike had stepped up their help for Duke. Don't know what that meant...maybe nothing illegal. But it sure makes me wonder after yesterday's news.

BTW...those who post on HOB a lot can probably confirm I've made several posts as of late mentioning that I heard of Nike stepping up for Duke since 2014.
Cal had to make up ground on Cam. I think he made Reddish think. But, K can recruit too.
Yep which is exactly why Capel was brought in: to handle the aau underbelly and insulate K from any fallout.
He's not debating the above facts. He is simply stating that Lebron and Paul were there to pitch UK, not Duke. Your above argument is pointless to this conversation.
I'm still scratching my head over Luke Kennard, a guy who grew up a Kentucky fan, going to Duke. Made no sense to me at the time.
Huh? I was talking about the Reddish meeting. That's it. K definitely followed Cal starting a few years ago.
