In federal court today there were texts and emails that came from Nike executives involving recruiting in the prospective athletes from the EYBL. Much as we heard earlier this week, this was involving the recruitment of Romeo Langford and Zion Williams. Michael Avenatti was the one behind all the documents that were leaked. Of today’s report by Yahoo’s trio of Pat Forde, Pete Thamel, and Dan Wetzel there was one obvious notes.
Nike executive Carlton DeBose is the director of the EYBL (Nike’s own AAU league) and today we learned of a text conversation he had on July 6th, 2017.
