So far, things have been mostly clear for the Wildcats.
And then earlier this afternoon, things looked even better for Kentucky when Merl Code, a former Adidas consultant found guilty of funneling money to recruits to ensure they went to Adidas-sponsored schools, said he didn’t want his guys to go to Kentucky because he’d lose control over them. With his long-term goal being that schools would sign with the Adidas school, and then later sign deals with the company once they turned pro, he knew recruits going to UK would result in lost clients.
“If I let my kid go to Kentucky, I promise you I won’t get him back,” Code said, per Adam Zagoria.
