No risk in playing him. Memphis doesn’t care about games being vacated. That sort of worrying is reserved for blue bloods.
Wiseman ineligible
- Thread starter jdoub11
- Start date
That's some serious change to 'help' out a kid. But a small investment for an AAU coach to get a major coaching gig.
We know, the injunction made by a local county judge. It's absurd on it's face and won't work.
I'm betting that this will die the same death that ucheat, kansas, dook, LSU, and AZ problems did. Nothing to see here but more ncaa stupidity.
$11,500 is some serious coin for moving. I thought Wiseman grew up around Memphis ? $11,500 would be a fine *** house. Or a year rent on a apartment.
He should not be cleared to play at Memphis but ought to be able to immediately transfer & play if it was fair. Penny knew exactly what he was doing...he wasnt just being helpful. This is all on him.
I remember there's a rumor that Billy Donovan volunteered to move Patrick Patterson and his family to Florida.
They didn’t have that kind of money to move back then now all of a sudden he will in order to get eligible smh

That amount of money is probably reasonable for moving an entire household. I moved from a two story home four hours away and it cost $12,000 back in 1997.
If they had let Kanter and some other players in the nation play, this wouldn't even be big news but you do it once twice and more, how can you change rules now? But I have faith that they will.
The thing about this is penny moved him to Memphis to play high school and aau. He didn’t move him there for college. Implicitly he may have but the timing would have affected hs and aau. Like I said having a rich aau and hs coach who becomes a college coach then recruits those same aau and hs players he coached well this is probably the tip of the iceberg.

Well wether he plays or not at least we know now that there was some illegal incentives to get him to commit to that ********
Maybe but the difference is this money came directly from his current coach not some random booster.
pretty sure that judge will be sitting in court side seats tonight. Something about this whole thing seems fishy.
2 story home and 4 hours away. meaning lots of stuff and long distance. Was Wiseman not a Memphis resident ? I would think moving across town (based on how big of a dwelling Wiseman lived in before), would not cost that much. I moved from a 3500 sq. foot house across town here in BG for about $1000.
Key is, was the money ever repaid, whether it be $12,500 or $1250.
It was @morgousky , he's been undercover for weeks.
Another aspect of this is potential violations by Penny. The statement released by Memphis said that the NCAA initially declared Wiseman eligible in May, but that additional information later came to light. If that information did not come from Penny and/or Memphis, then they could be in real trouble for hiding information that directly impacted Wiseman's eligibility.

The difference is he loaned it to him BEFORE he committed to Memphis, hence the recruiting advantage. Think about it, a guy floats you $12500 , could you even consider signing with another team ? Knowing in your mind, "He gave that kind of coin before i signed to play for him, wonder how much i can get after i sign ?"

Thats right but someone was implying that wiseman May be able to pay the money back in order to find a remedy. If a coach gives you 11500 how could the ncaa use this remedy? The reason wiseman picked memphis was hardaway. The reason he picked hardaway is bc he’s been taking care of him even before penny became coach. I honestly don’t see any remedy for wiseman and how in the hell can a county court usurp the ncaa??
