Hey guys, I found something for us all to watch.
Christian Dawkins, the man at the center of the FBI’s investigation into bribery in college basketball, is the subject of “The Scheme,” a new HBO documentary that premieres March 31 at 9 p.m. ET. Dawkins details how the FBI wanted him to help them get Rick Pitino and agent Andy Miller, and includes other juicy parts of the case, including the never-before-heard wiretapped calls between Dawkins and LSU coach Will Wade and Arizona coach Sean Miller.
Former LSU star Naz Reid, former North Carolina star Nassir Little, and current LSU guard Javonte Smart are all mentioned. In fact, the call in which Wade makes a “strong-ass offer” for Smart is played in its entirety.
Yahoo has the transcript of some of the calls, and this one between Dawkins and Sean Miller about Naz Reid is pretty amazing.
Christian Dawkins: “In essence, let me ask you this: Do you think you’ll get Naz Reid?”
Sean Miller: “No. He’s going to LSU.”
Dawkins: “OK, he’s going to LSU, so that helps.”
Miller: “We’re not even bringing him on a visit. He’s not even visiting. That’s all [expletive]. Like, I’m looking at our recruiting board, he’s not even on it. I’ve never talked to the kid. All this [expletive] hype [expletive] on the phone, it’s stupid. He just probably said, ‘You know what, [expletive] you. I don’t want 75, I want a 120. I may go to Arizona.’ That’s all that was.”
Dawkins made a joke about Wade overpaying for recruits.
Dawkins: “And Will Wade — I told Book, I said, ‘Will Wade is like driving up the price of [players]. Cause he’s not even doing like real numbers.’ ”
Miller: “I tell you what, ‘I’ll give him credit. He’s got a big set of balls on him.’ ”
Dawkins: “No, Will Wade doesn’t give a [expletive], Sean.”
For more, head on over to Yahoo. And set your DVR for HBO, March 31, 9 p.m.
