The middleman discussed in a 2017 phone conversation between LSU head basketball coach Will Wade and former Adidas consultant Christian Dawkins has been identified in a report from Yahoo! Sports.
In the phone conversation intercepted by the FBI, Wade reportedly mentioned someone named "Shannon" while discussing a "strong-ass offer" made to a third party in relation to a recruit. Multiple sources confirmed to Yahoo! Sports that the person in question is Shannon Forman. The outlet also reviewed documents that allegedly showed a link between him and Dawkins.
Yahoo! Sports reviewed an email Dawkins sent to ASM Sports president Andy Miller and three ASM employees on Aug.
