Jeffrey Lee went on Mobile radio station WNSP this morning (Morning Sports Center hour two, around the 50-minute mark) to level an accusation of foul play in Calloway's recruitment. He says his sources tell him that the person who took Calloway out of state right before signing day was a person "very involved with the athletics department there... Just a big fan who's really involved, I guess you could say." He also says that "allegations are out there" that this mystery person gave cash to Winston.

I was careful to capture the "allegations are out there" quote because Lee himself is not making the claim that Winston got money. He's pointing out that others are saying that, which is a classic CYA move. Lee also said that several people are looking into the matter and will make some kind of evidence public soon, but there's not likely going to be a paper trail due to the cash-only nature of the allegation. He even compared it directly to the accusations of Stanley McClover against Auburn on HBO's Real Sports program in that way.

You can listen to the podcast here    It's the Morning Sports Center Hour Two around the 50 min mark.




Sounds to me like a Cow College writer is trying to deflect attention from their issues.  They must have run out of sympathy about the trees.

Yep.

He's going back on their show tomorrow morning to explain further.  I'm holding my breath to hear names other than Calloway's dad.

[Marshal Dillon]

I bet his reliable source is Bobby Lowder, Jimmy Rane, or Pat Dye.

I think the author spends a lot of his day thinking about athletic supporters.

I have to say again, if they make slanderish reports without proof can't they be sued for slander? RTR!

that guy uhed so many times it was pathetic  , he even called the basketball player Lee asked him about
by the name Brent ... because that is all he wanted to say  ... HEY everybody Alabama CHEATED !!!
it was obvious he had a vendetta and plenty of hearsay to try to get it going .
the nervousness in his voice made him sound like a liar spewing a bunch of made up crap

these au people are so messed up in the head it is unbelievable  
they think the REC owns HBO and made them broadcast the pay for play show , pathetic  

[ssmithhhh]

Finebaum playing the dude's radio "announcement" right now.  This will be interesting with the psycho callers lined up.

Nothing more than a distraction. But a distraction, nonetheless.

Yep.  It's called "deflection".  Those fools are just hilarious.  Cecil Hurt was doing all he could to avoid calling that guy an idiot.

this is the guy the boogs are calling out



they are having a party over on ITAT and Cecil bashing like crazy

[ssmith general]

boogers are mentally ill.

I listened to about 4 minutes of the OD this morning and del greco was babbling the whole time with some caller about heisman trophy winner cam newton.

Are they not aware that the entire country gets ill when they think about how they ruined the 2010 season with openly cheating?  

Anyway, I was embarrassed for del greco, myself, the state, and college football.

This dude might want to shut his lip service up, there's a lot of folks wanting to know why he suddenly switched to Awbarn during recruiting. Maybe Calloway can settle all of this.
