Also, buried in the article we finally get an answer to who owned Preston's Charger. Turns out it was his late grandmother - but why the hell did it take months to figure that out???

Also of note, a Maryland booster really wanted his $60k back after deSousa defected to KU.

This one isn't so buried. They presented texts that show that Self requested a payment to DeSousa.

The KU people are starting to talk about this being Self's last year and him going to the NBA. I am sure some suckers like the Nets or Orlando or Atlanta will hire him but they best beware because he struggled considering the fact he had the NBA jersey and apparel company working the recruiting circuits.

Blue Blood Alert!!!!
Nothing to see here, move along......

Look at these text msg exchanges:

During Monday's testimony, text messages between Gassnola, Self and Townsend presented by defense attorneys indicated the coaches were at least aware of Gassnola's involvement in the Jayhawks' recruitment of De Sousa, a native of Angola.
On Aug. 9, 2017, Townsend texted Gassnola and wrote, "Coach Self just talked to Fenny let me know how it goes."
A few hours later, Gassnola texted Self: "Hall of Fame. When you have 5 minutes and your [sic] alone call me."
Later that night, after Self hadn't responded, Gassnola texted him again: "I talked with Fenny."
"We good?" Self asked.
"Always," Gassnola replied. "That's [sic] was light work. Ball is in his court now."
