Baylor BB threatened kid with deportation???

[Dukie]

Scott Drew apparently sent this text to a South American high schooler's coach:

"'I guarantee u if he does [commit to another school] he will be in Colombia for the spring and summer and next year,' the text read, according to FoxSports.com. 'Don’t forget it.'

"NCAA officials are expected at Baylor later this month."

Sounds like Morefield sent the text, not Drew.

shouldn't this be in the b-ball/recruiting section? Nonetheless, I didn't think they did that at upstanding, christian universities such as the almighty baylor.

Keep it classy, Baylor.

whispers from some aggies who are BB fans and close to the a&m program have questioned Baylor's workings...could be sour grapes, or a bit of smoke where there is a fire...get your popcorn, it just might get interesting.

I still wonder why ANYONE would elect to go to Waco...or maybe that is it...they are 'forced.'

ESPN reported this morning, NCAA is now looking at BB program for violations in recruiting.

well, at least they didn't take him to the quarry...

Harry, you are right but the Football board has in some ways become the "main" board, and this is huge news. (There was a "Baylor being investigated?" sort of thread on the basketball board about a month ago.)

Baylor - taking the road to irrelevancy.

[Terry Webster]

Hmmm...deported or Waco? Tough choice.

[Nacho]

take deported

[stc9]

How could this clown believe it would not become public knowledge. Did he think that the High School coach wouldn't show this to the local media?

You cannot wash off stupid

Take deported... especially if the program is blackmailing you before you step onto campus. What is going to happen if he has a bad game? INS agents on the sidelines?

Send copies to Trinity HS

No wonder the Southern Baptists dumped them. In a more serious point, I believe that their basketball program is death penalty eligible as they are still within six years of the Bliss infractions. Baylor getting DP in hoops would do wonders for the Big 12(10).

Can't keep it classy if you never were.
