Text messages presented at college basketball trial seem to further clear UM Hurricanes

A new batch of evidence presented Monday at the college basketball trial in New York seems to further clear the Miami Hurricanes of any potential wrongdoing in association with their recruitment of Nassir Little.

United States v. James Gatto resumed Monday after a three-day recess and a series of text messages were presented into evidence. Among the texts presented was an exchange from Aug. 6, 2017, between Brad Augustine, Little’s Amateur Athletic Union coach, and Christian Dawkins, who allegedly served as a middleman for Adidas in their monetary exchanges. In the messages, Dawkins tells Augustine that Little’s family wasn’t accepting any money.
