Adidas may have been tampering with a potential Kansas recruit.

(from the chatsports article) -- "Our sources both say it's unclear if anyone on the Kansas coaching staff knew about Adidas' interference in the recruitment of Williamson."
"Unclear" tells me they have not got a clue and are just throwing stuff out there to see what sticks.
Also indicates no sign of issues for KU with ZW.

Envious members of the coaching fraternity trying to improve their chances in conference and/or for top recruits by hurting the chances of the top contenders would never sit down to collaborate on how to put some pressure on... would they...?
Naaaah...

Rauf is the same guy who tried to tie KU & Josh Jackson to adidas probe... but JJ was always Under Armor, and signed with UA after school.
Well, DOH! Yeah, lotsa adidas influence there.

Rauf's a big Puke and Frank Martin lover, pushing to make KU ties to this crap to help a "number of other schools, including Clemson, Duke, North Carolina, South Carolina, and UCLA [who] are also believed to be in the mix for {Williamson]", citing unnamed sources in making his accusations.

Then I would note also...
Zion Williamson’s Stepfather: No Contact With Adidas
Williamson’s stepfather, Lee Anderson, told 7 Sports Thursday night that “no one from Adidas has approached Zion or his family.”

Anderson says he’s aware of the Chat Sports article and adds, “If anyone approached the family without Zion’s best interests in mind we would simply walk away.”

Anderson said Thursday that “no one outside of the immediate family will have any say or sway on Zion’s decision on where he’ll go to school.”

Anderson adds that no decision on Zion’s college destination is close at this point.

But, but... chatsports said...
