Once again, we're asked to believe that control freaks like Pitino or even Roy Williams, equipped with a half dozen assistants and no more than 12 scholarship players, are shocked, SHOCKED, that anything like this could happen. If they only knew!!

I watched the press conference with Pitino. The more and more he talked, the less and less inclined I was to believe him. It was almost like the sales guy that simply doesn't know when to shut up.

I usually don't read much into body language but when Pitino was asked about anyone having any inclination this could be going on, he leaned back and crossed him arms and started shifting his body around. He really began to look a little uncomfortable.

The woman was pimping out her own daughters. What a classy lady.
I heard that last night. How creepy can you get? Supposedly the woman also has texts between herself and McGee and photos with her escorts and some of the recruits. Word is the NCAA has already talked to a LSU player that was a Louisville recruit during the 2010-14 time frame when McGee was there.

Ex-Louisville recruit JaQuan Lyle confirms escort allegations for NCAA

Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle spoke with an NCAA investigator this week about his recruiting visit to Louisville in June 2013 and confirmed the gist of allegations involving paid escorts during his trip to the school, a source with knowledge of the NCAA's investigation told CBS Sports on Thursday morning.

"He told the truth," the source said.

Reading the OTL story now...

Outside the Lines reviewed Powell's journals, text messages and phone records and independently confirmed that text messages sent to Powell to arrange the parties came from McGee's cellphone. Further, Outside the Lines has independently confirmed a wire transfer of money from McGee to Powell on one occasion.
That does not appear to be very good for Louisville.

Powell said she kept phone records, texts and detailed journals of the events, "because I knew that this day would come, and I knew that one day they would say, 'She's lying.'"
I question this. Why go public about it in the first place?

During another party, Rod Ni Powell, 22, another daughter of Katina's, said she was paid to have sex with former Cardinals player Montrezl Harrell, a power forward who now plays for the Houston Rockets. Katina Powell told Outside the Lines and wrote in her book that Harrell, who played with Louisville from 2012-15, had sex paid for by McGee as a recruit and as a player.
Having a real hard time believing this woman now. She named her daughter Rod Ni?

Powell, in her book and in the interview with Outside the Lines, said Louisville recruits JaQuan Lyle, Antonio Blakeney, Jordan Mickey and Terry Rozier all had sex during their recruiting visits. Lyle, Blakeney and Mickey either could not be reached for comment or declined to comment.
Rozier said: "I don't want to talk about it. ... I was already committed before I took my visit. ... I will say, though, Coach P [Pitino], as far as the dorm situations and visits, he'd go out to eat with the recruits and their parents. As far as after that, he wouldn't know. ... I can say his nose is clean."
Yep, Terry Rozier had sex or at least got a lap dance.

When Powell makes these type statements, I continue to question her motives:

@JohnWDRB Katina Powell tells @LeBatardShow that she doesn't want anyone to get in trouble. (But she went to the NCAA and then wrote a book.)

What blows me away is that McGee sent her a request about taking "care" of Antonio Blakeney (signed at LSU) after McGee had already left Louisville and was on staff at UM-KC? Why? In Powell's words McGee said he was a "must get" and "whatever it took". If this is true, why is McGee still operating on behalf of Louisville if he is no longer there? I'm just wondering if someone reached out to Andre and asked him to make this happen?

And what can be more seedy than providing sex for a recruit while on a visit? Let's also provide it to the "guardian" that is accompanying him. God...I need a shower.

That does not appear to be very good for Louisville.
Tom Jurich the AD is the one in a real pinch.

Think about it. He stood by Pitino after the "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" scandal. He re-hired Petrino after playing road hog with a staff member on his Harley while at Arkansas. With those situations he has pretty much said "I'll accept some questionable behavior by my coaches and staff."

If this thing falls apart, Jurich is gone.

Maybe Jurich is part owner of an Italian restaurant and is a member of a Harley club. :wink: He might even enjoy a game of volleyball.

Now, Powell's attorney says she won't meet with either the NCAA or Louisville until one promises her immunity... Yes, immunity for the crimes she says she committed in her book.
