I have no idea if or whether the Moore's helped out their daughter any more than if Diamond Deshields has taken money or received illegal benefits.
Dumb comparison. Diamond is the daughter of a former MLB player and her family is loaded. Her circumstances aren't remotely the same as Maya's.
A lot of people state things about Moore and her mother that require an intimate knowledge of their personal lives.
Doesn't require much 'intimate' knowledge at all. Not when her mother comes to UT's campus and pretty much airs her and Geno's dirty laundry out.
I assume that much of it comes from LV fans who live or lived near where Maya went to high school and most of it is nothing but "I was told by someone who has a friend .....".
Nope. Although there are people who say Maya, while still at Collins Hill, was showing pictures and bragging about the condo they would be moving into once she got to UConn. And yes, that condo was in a gated community, supposedly.
I have very little knowledge about UConn players beyond what state they played hs ball.
Then maybe you shouldn't be commenting on this.
What I find amazing and also a little disturbing that there are people who dig into the minutia of young girls lives like some apparently on this board.
You are incredibly melodramatic.
I watch games and comment about the teams. I could care less about their private lives. And less about the lives of their parents.
Soooo once again, why are you in this discussion?
I have no idea why Katherine moved from the St Louis area to Georgia nor any details. Until I see someone come forward and say "my name is .... and I worked in the payroll office where Katherine Moore worked" or else "I was a teller in the bank Mrs. Moore used", I have to consider all the BS I read as cheap gossip.
IOW, you want a perfect storm of proof ... something you know you will never get. And even if you did get it ... you would still make excuses.
You can consider it whatever you want. I certainly won't be losing any sleep over what you think. I don't post anything for validation. Not from you and not from anyone else. And I sure as heck won't be asking permission from a UConn fan to post on my own fan board.
In this case it's also vicious gossip.
Vicious to you because you're one of the egomaniacs who doesn't believe that your coach is slime. UConn fans are essentially the women's basketball version of Kentucky men's fans.
I would call a lot of Geno's behavior toward Pat and UT 'vicious' but that's just me. Pat honestly could have and probably should have cancelled the series quite a few years before she did. Maya's recruitment was the straw that broke the camel's back. Not only was he using shady recruiting tactics in recruiting for years (the remarks about sexuality have already been talked about), but he flat out never respected Pat and seemed to go out of his way to be disrespectful to her, especially around the time Taurasi was there.
Nobody said a word about Kaila Davis' mother until Kaila backed away from Tenn. Once she did the sharp nails came out.
First of all, it's "Kaela", secondly there was no reason for any "sharp nails" to come out until Kendra basically tried to completely undermine UT's staff, not to mention completely lying about about why Kaela de-committed. Please. You know nothing about anything to do with that scenario, so don't act like you do for even a second.
Kendra's past is well documented. Her arrest for throwing coffee on a woman, her getting into a fight (read: starting a fight) at one of Antonio's games. And her behavior is not a secret at all to anyone in and around the teams that Kaela played on.
And those are strong words from a fanbase that has consistently attacked EDD and dragged her through the mud for leaving UConn.
And when Diamond chose UNC the LV boards were filled with accusations against Hatchell and UNC for underhanded recruiting.
It's so strange that you say "filled with accusations" ... and I don't recall that being said except for a couple of people. I will admit I didn't post here at the time (although my account was active). Maybe you're confused with UNC fans who have made up dozens of stories as to why Diamond left UNC.
Hatchell isn't a saint, either, but I won't delve into that.
It's the same story whenever Tenn loses a recruit.
You mean like how UConn fans have been saying for years "well, we really didn't want her that bad anyway" or (my personal favorite) "Geno pulled her offer" with the majority of recruits that don't pick UConn, especially those that pick UT over UConn.
There are some that have said that, and I generally roll my eyes. There is a difference between sour grapes and what happened with Maya.
At least UConn fans just mark it down as the recruit being an idiot or a fool for not wanting to come to UConn and leave the filthy accusations alone.
That's because UConn fans would have zero ground to stand on throwing accusations given some of the stuff Geno has done.
With Moore it's been "how could she afford it?" I say none of your damn business.
It's mostly a rhetorical question. And I always ask it of those people who are skeptical of believing what happened.
If someone has evidence then state it.
Let me go immediately find all the voice recordings and video evidence of the whole thing. Just to help ease your mind, linky.
You obviously don't understand the goal of cheating. It's to get what you want AND not get caught. There's no evidence that John Calipari cheats, either. I guess it's all just rumors made up by people who are paranoid and out to get him. :unsure:
I've been reading how "the truth is about to become public" for about 8 years.
LOL. Where? This thing has been going on for almost ten years now and I've NEVER seen that said.
The story used to be that someone bought them a house in a gated community. The truth is that they rented a condo in a rather common development.
The condo they stayed in wasn't in the mother's name, derp. Once again, you don't get the object of cheating.
The other accusation is that NCAA rules were broken by the sale of handbags through the private bookstore. Well, that was found to be completely within the rules.
The handbags (which were ugly as homemade sh**, BTW) had UConn's official logo which is licensed through the University of Connecticut and the NCAA, so no it wasn't "completely within the rules" to sell through the private bookstore. And what do you mean "found"? I don't recall ever seeing anything about the NCAA investigating that, although I honestly could be wrong because I've slept about 80 billion times since then.
I'm waiting for you to tell me they could afford the rent from selling the handbags, as if that many people bought those God-awful looking things.
Of course that hasn't stopped many from repeating it as if it was a crime.
It also hasn't stopped many from repeatedly demanding proof, as if it somehow didn't happen if they don't believe it.
Before Pat got sick there were a lot of rumors about her personal life revolving around her divorce and LV fans were incensed. How dare anyone pry into our coach's private life?
And those rumors were started by who? You guessed it. UConn fans.
But it never stopped some from spreading their own filthy accusations about others.
So IOW people should be allowed to cheat in privacy. Gotcha.
To the vast majority of LV fans I apologize for my rant.
Why? Anyone who knows your behavior on other boards knows you despise everything about UT.
But I'll leave this thought for you. Recruits and their parents read these boards. Do you think that comments like Volcrazy's hurt or help the image of Tenn?
Your attempt to get other LV fans on your side somehow doesn't go unnoticed, I assure you.
If recruits and their parents are sensitive to the truth about what happened with Maya's recruitment and also Geno's character, then odds are they aren't material for anything remotely pertaining to the real world and shouldn't even be playing college basketball in the first place. "Don't go to that school. Some of their fans actually have the guts to tell it like it is!" *gasp*
