Tim Quarterman received payment while at LSU (1 Viewer)

[El Caliente]

Well thats not good for business. LSU's program is making a solid turn around under Will Wade. I wonder how much this will hurt them.

Former LSU basketball player Tim Quarterman received a payment of $16,000 when he was a junior at the school, according to a Yahoo.com report that detailed large-scale payments made to dozens of current and former college basketball players.

The report also listed former LSU basketball player Jarell Martin as receiving a loan for $52,000, although it is not clear if he was still a student at the school at the time.

The report cited bank records belonging to former NBA agent Andy Miller obtained during the discovery period of a federal investigation that has thus far led to the arrests of four former college basketball assistant coaches. The report does not directly implicate LSU, former coach Johnny Jones or anybody on his staff.

What's sad is that the team was bad despite paying Quarterman. Makes Jones look even worse.

Wasn’t Jones the assistant under Dale Brown that paid Lester Earl money back in the 90s?

Yes, which made me wonder at the time why Aleva would even go down that road. Every thing Aleva touches turns to s**t. He’s got to go.

Diamond Stone got paid while at Maryland so that he could have a one-end-done career and graduate to the NBA developmental league.

But with a name like Diamond Stone you know it’s only a matter of time until he becomes a star.

College sports are the ultimate joke.

My son went to UMD, great school (academically) but their basketball program has to be the leader of producing almost good enough players (for the NBA):


Diamond Stone, Melo Trimble, DJ Strawberry, Keith Booth, Mike Jones, Nik Caner-Medley, Laron Profit, Lonny Baxter, Johnny Rhodes, Dez Wells in the past, to name just a few. And their current team has 3 really good college players who probably won't make an impact or even make the NBA (Kevin Heurter, Anthony Cowen and Bruno Fernandez)....
